If our history was a geological survey

The Performance Ethics Working Group wants to work with you to collect our history of ephemeral performance work. Because we have questions and stories, and we know you do too. We invite you to a workshop to map the centres and sprawls of our practices. Show each other the lines of relationships and discover where inter-work, inter-community dialogue happened.

We know our histories cannot be told singularly or linearly. They need to be told in multiplicity as we claim our genealogies of practice, acknowledge our cousins across fields and welcome what our descendants have built off the steps we made. If our history was a geological survey, is a mapping workshop and the first step in forming a working group to enable us to collectively tell the recent history of experimental performance in Tāmaki Makaurau.
