Books We Should Be Friends
(with Bryan Saner)
Crash Boom Bau! Exploration of Bauhaus festival, Jena, Germany, May 2009.
In collaboration with six members of the Jena community, this performance workshop became a collaborative dialogue about building new models for a lived environment. The focus of the collaboration was 'design by neighbourhood' - attempting to create practical and economically appropriate designs that were integrated into daily, local lifestyles. During April and early May 09, participants responded to weekly directives focusing on our designed, liveable environment.
The responses could take the form of written, crafted, edible, wearable, singable or performable things and over five days were crafted into a performance which took place at the Jena TheaterHaus on May 16th and 17th.
