Wednesday

We sat in the dark performance space waiting for the audience to enter. An eerie song was playing and the only light came from four torches. Once audience member followed the light to the centre of the room before changing their mind and moving outside the light. When it was dark, we began to talk.

I walked around, taking photos of people in the dark, then handing them disturbing images which they could look at when the lights were turned on. The stockings on our heads made us uniform, and the scattered sentences unsettled a lot of people. The lights, when they came up, were only light enough to illuminate the space, not much more. At the end of our performance someone gave the best feedback I could have asked for.

"My heart was racing. I was scared, but I also asked myself why I was scared."

That was what I had hoped to hear.

I was going to try and put up photos tonight, but I think that will have to wait until I have a bit more time on my hands (like after this week is over). For now, I hope my brief performance description has been enough.
