Feature-less and Brighter Future - nominated for best Visual Arts show in Fringe 2012.

PLEASE NOTE THAT IN THE FRINGE FESTIVAL PROGRAMME BOOKLET THE TIMES FOR THESE TWO WORKS ARE INCORRECT. TO REPEAT THE TIMES ARE

BRIGHTER FUTURE

Friday 10th February. 4 minute loop playing between 9-12pm

Outside on the Majoribanks St side of the Embassy Theatre.

FEATURE-LESS

Saturday 11th February 10.30-11pm

Paramount Theatre.

Premiering in the Fringe Festival 2012:


Two Video Works: Feature-less: where the audience replaces the feature film, and Brighter Future, where the King of Pop adds to the suburban heartland.

Feature-less: an experimental participative video work where the audience replaces the feature film. This “showing” challenges notions of the function of the audience in theatre. What happens when the film is removed from the cinema, and the spectator becomes both the object and subject of the gaze. Come and participate in &/or observe this experiment.

Feature-less will be "showing" at Paramount Theatre, 25 Courtenay Pl- ph 3844080; 1030 pm Saturday 11 February, 30 minutes duration.

Brighter Future: the King of Pop contributes to a video set in the New Zealand suburban heartland, where work and play get mixed up and turned into an endless rehearsal of moving backwards but looking forwards to a future perpetually just around the corner. This is a work that is most definitely not off-the-wall.

Brighter Future will be shown on the wall of The Embassy, (Marjoribanks St side); 9 pm Friday 10 February, 3 hours duration.




We would like to thank the Fringe, Kakano Funding and Creative NZ for their assistance with creating these new works.
