About
Using theory, philosophy, pop music, current affairs and corporate rhetoric as alibis to write, casts of arguing characters to help her perform, and appropriated performance genres such as the Broadway musical, the television commercial or the film trailer as both a form and a reference, Cally Spooner produces plotless novellas, disjunctive scripts, looping monologues and musical arrangements to stage the short-circuiting of language as it transforms into labour.
For her show with Spike Island Spooner will work closely with Spike Film and Video to complete the final phase of an ongoing production: And You Were Wonderful, On Stage (the film), a multi-screen film installation informed by earlier performance work.
Preview: Friday 17 April, 6-9pm
