Past Works Recycling Plant is a mixed bill night of contemporary performance curated by Emergency Chorus.
It's a night for recycled performance: expect reworked and remixed material, whirlwind retrospectives, rehearsal room B-sides, a re-performance of a live art score from the ’70s, or the very first work an artist made 30 years ago.
Past Works Recycling Plant is a celebration of the ways that artists change and remain constant; how artists’ work is always already composted and fed back to itself. We reject the pressure to constantly innovate. We say: out with the new, and in with the old! It’s an invitation to time-travel, making room for the unseen, the almost-forgotten, the stolen, the scribblings-in-the-margins, the what-was-was-there-all-along.
Line up:
Tobi King Bakare and this theatre deserve a shout-out for such a young, diverse audience. There is so much talk about audiences being full of over 60s and why, why can’t theatres get the crowds in to reflect society in general? Well, I’m happy to say that on a rainy Thursday evening, the theatre was completely full.
