Introduce Shunt founder-member Hannah Ringham to the group, fresh from curating the last two weeks in the Shunt lounge. She talks to the group about her work with Shunt (such as Dance Bear Dance) 'we have always been interested in exploring different ways to work with an audence'; and recently with Tim Crouch (work such as England) - 'also interested in working with an audence in a very different way.' During the next few days she's going to be exploring with the group 'concept' and how this can work with 'narrative.' An example of this for her would be the connection between the concept for England, that it would take place in an art gallery, and the narrative which Tim wrote, involving an organ transplantation and a lover who is an art dealer. This has to be one of the emerging themes in considering the field of contemporary practice so far: that is, the impulse, which exists, one way or another, for the contemporary practitioner to make work which is integrated - of a piece with - elements of the moment in which it is made and the surroundings in which it is performed.
