Tangled Feet News
The Measurement Shop
Following recent collaborations with Emergency Exit
Arts and Theatre Venture and having been picked as one of only five British
outdoor theatre companies to present work at Cratere Surfaces in Ales, France,
June 2010 – tangled
feet present their latest and most ambitious project yet.
What if experiencing theatre was as easy as entering a shop? What if a theatrical
exchange mirrored a shopping exchange? What if the theatre was an empty shopping
unit and the opening times were during the day with no evening performances?
Who would the audience be?
tangled feet present The Measurement Shop in Unit 214 at Elephant & Castle
Shopping Centre.
The Measurement Shop is a creative exploration of how we measure complex and
simple things: from the practical (how do we measure the population of London?
the rate of immigration? The depth of a river?) to the abstract (how do we measure
pain? Recovery? Love?). What effect does measuring have on the measured thing?
The project will never be a finished performance, rather an ongoing open exploratory
experiment with the audience arriving, measuring and adding to the piece of theatre-
it is our aim that The Measurement Shop tours across the UK and opens in cities
up and down the country for up to a few weeks before moving on – just like
a pop-up shop.
Dates
August 2nd – 5th
Unit 214, Upper Ground Floor Elephant & Castle
Shopping Centre
Times 2pm-6pm – pop in anytime and stay as long as you
like.
(Wednesday 3rd Aug sharings also at 7pm-8pm)
FREE Please note these will be work in progress sharings.
