drama

What is it? It is people, usually, in an enclosed space, perhaps a room, perhaps not, sensing across that space, a spiral or a vortex or a labyrinth or tangents or the ghosts or tremors - of possibilities. Lives lived as they are and as they might otherwise have been. It is the eyes connecting, disconnecting, acknowledging, contemplating. Beyond which it is the mass of those brains, lurking behind the eyes and the facades, all of them ticking over, chasing private dragons, taking their toll.

This is why I enjoy creating one-off, ephemeral pieces of drama. The drama in the room reverberates around the drama on the stage. In a dream world, which might be the world I currently inhabit, every show would live and die in the instant of its creation, crystalised through the senses of the audience which still chooses to participate.
