Hi all – there seem to be a few more bookings than notes here! Anyway, look out for us by the Witness banner (it should be nice a noticeable) in the Malthouse foyer before the show. Afterwards, grab a drink from the bar, and meet us in the mezzanine. Looking forward to seeing you!
Dear Everyone
(And thanks Chris for reminding me to post this!)
If you want to touch base before the show, we’ll (Rob, me, Ben and Carissa) be hanging out in the Fairfax foyer/bar by a Witness banner which is slightly bigger than I thought it was. So hopefully we’ll be beautifully obvious!
It looks as if there’s going to be about 25 of us, so we’ll probably be staying in the foyer for the post show discussion (we’re told they’ll keep the bar open for us). Meet by the banner!
Thanks for posting this, Samsara! A lovely response. I thought you might be referring to Tamara Saulwick, but I couldn’t remember her name either 🙂
I agree that it possessed all those things. I think everyone there, from what I remember, saw those qualities in it. But like I said at the time, I had this sense of fascinating beginnings that instead of being developed in some way through the show leapt to another fascinating beginning. In my view, it’s a question about the dramaturgy.
Thanks, Keith. Yes, it would feel very unfair to review that night. It’s such a shame for the artists too, who know that’s not what they meant. But hey, that’s live performance for you! Anything might happen!
It’s going to be interesting to see how this process evolves into different spaces! Our task is really just to facilitate conversation and to make sure that everyone feels included and that their contributions matter. We’re trying to open up the “top down” discussion that characterises so much cultural discourse (here too on Witness, of course, since the reviewing is foregrounded). Like this whole site, we’re a work in progress.
