From dreamtime to realtime: a two-part work exploring our daily journey from the private to the public and back again.
Every working day millions of us get up still half asleep, look in the bathroom mirror and start the daily task of putting on a public face. This is Dream-Work. Then, as we clock off for the day, we slough off our workselves and fleetingly entertain other options. Our destination is Dream-Home.
Dream-Work and Dream-Home are two walking performances that take the form of journeys to and from a job in the city. Following performer-commuters during the a.m. and p.m. rush hours, audience members listen in on personal receivers to the sounds, speech and songs that make up a life in the morning; and that unmake it again, as night draws in.
