Phrases to be Used Upon...

So I am still stunned by the talent on display at Central Saint Martins last week in the performance of Phrases to be Used Upon.... by Anne Elmholt and Nina Kunzendorf. 

This performance formed part of their final year of  BA Performance: Design and Practice.  In this blog post I share with you some photos from this piece and a chat I had with Scott Swinton on Saturday about his involvement.

As a reminder, this piece focuses on "observations of human nature we come across in daily life and how we respond and react to these."  In this performance, the actors in the scenes mime their lines while the actors behind them voice their lines into microphones which creates a disconnect between the words and behaviour of the performers and invites the audience to examine this.

 So on Saturday, I was at Studio Wayne McGregor and I also caught up with Scott about his experiences working on this show which I found fascinating.  Below is the film of our informal chat.   The film is poor quality but please use it to listen to the chat.

Thanks Scott!
