This afternoon, Hannah was joined by fellow Shunt founder-member Gemma Brockis, another great force for good in the world. Like Hannah, Gemma appears rooted in the Shunt collective, but is often to be found working with other companies - recently, for example, in Rotozaza's car-based work Pinnochio, and in Chris Goode's Sisters at the Gate. I just have time to introduce her to the group in glowing terms when I'm off, cursing my fate, to various necessary School committees and events - and miss all the exciting performance work of the afternoon. I need to read about this in someone else's blog. Please recommend. All I get for now is a tantalising glimpse from the newly elected student rep Julia when she arrives at the last of these events, and whispers a report. A bomb attached to a stripper? Julia looks pityingly, and says I should have been there. Scattered personal possessions? Wire cutters? Another feature of contemporary practice perhaps: that it exists as much in the telling (in the imagining) as in its original manifestation. A small disruption which can set waves in motion.
