DRY RUN part 2: How to save your skin when disaster strikes without warning
LOW PROFILE read "The Book of Survival" from cover-to-cover, out loud, with an audience, for 12 hours - testing each other on the advice offered.
* * *
DRY RUN part 2: How to save your skin when disaster strikes without warning was first performed at The Royal Standard (an artist-run space in Liverpool) alongside the gallery’s main exhibition Navigator, in the newly opened Project Space. The space was given over to us for 4 days to try out and test both this performance and to facilitate the development and installation of DRY RUN part 3: Scale Of Emergency.
DRY RUN part 2: How to save your skin when disaster strikes without warning marks a number of changes of approach for Low Profile including:
- Working with extended duration (12 hours)
returning to more ‘task-oriented’ approach (where there is not a particular running order, or script in that sense) - Very little manipulation of source material prior to performance (cataloguing/ processing/ generating text during performance rather than before)
- The performance created an installation trace (text on walls) that is indexical of the performance itself
The wrapper text starts to un-pick and examine the performance through these areas with attempts to evaluate and learn from the experience of making/showing the work.
