THEY KEEP PUTTING WORDS IN MY MOUTH AN OPERETTA OF SORTS:ALICE THEOBALD

18 Aug 2013-1 Jan 2000

Overview

Alice Theobald creates a series of vignettes to contribute towards the making of They Keep Putting Words in My Mouth performance and video. As a nod at the longstanding relationship between 'The Artist' and 'The Therapist', Theobald is working with a trainee counsellor to develop a series of part scripted, part directed, part improvised pseudo-counselling-sessions. Throughout these sessions there is a particular focus on language and communication and the noise and nervousness of something that is live or off-the-cuff, revealing the relationship between interior and exterior dialogues. THEY KEEP PUTTING WORDS IN MY MOUTH! - AN OPERETTA OF SORTS is part of SITUATION|EVENT (SIT|EV), a 60-day programme exploring live, durational and participatory contemporary art practice:http://bit.ly/SituationEvent
