Inspired by the thoughts of two well-known thinkers: 'No man is an Island, entire of it self; every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the main' (John Donne) and 'Hell is other people' (John-Paul Sartre), Gary will be working with four co-performers on a new text based performance piece which explores inter-relationships and interconnection. Five performers, apparently strangers to each other, start to attribute characteristics, names and histories to each other. As they interchange and exchange identities the performance will become a complex memory game as they weave an increasingly complex web of relationships between each other. A visual artist whose work is presented in art, theatre and dance contexts, Gary has created solo and group performances and installations for galleries, theatres and public spaces since 1984. This scripted, and what appears to be tightly choreographed, work-in-progress will reflect the playful, humorous yet complex quality of his live work for which he has become known.
