The Institute for Scene Experiments

Surplus Reality

You are invited to participate in a workshop with the Institute for Scene Experiments on Saturday 12th October from 15:30 to 20:00.

The workshop entitled ‘Surplus Reality’ is an experiment in collective practice and is set within a realist frame to examine social questions. We will collectively develop a short improvisational scene taking place in the exhibition space with two studio cameras, professional lighting and lavalier microphones: the starting point will be a realistic dialogue for two or more characters in a gallery, departing from a frame text derived from dialogues in the films of Swiss Filmmaker Anne-Marie Miéville. Once the parameters of the scene are established we will experiment in recording different ways to represent it. At the end of the workshop the raw footage will be shared with the participants.

Participation will require being in a variety of roles, from performing, sound, camerawork, lighting and text work. By participating in the workshop you consent to being filmed. To register E-Mail with a brief line about who you are and your interests in the workshop.
