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.
