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!

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.
