A CRITICAL WEDGE

Abstract

A critical wedge – is an exploration of the in-betweens within performing arts and how they can become gaps for questioning, a place for exploring alternatives. How juxtaposition can be a political tool when composing a performance. It all started with the interspace between reality and fiction, the authentic and fictional self. The aesthetic field cannot present any given answers but rather a liminal space for reflection and thoughts. An in-between where multiplicity can grow and flourish. This is an exploration of both practice and theories in relation to gaps, cracks and in- betweens where art can flourish. This has also led to an exploration of the relation between spectators and performers and on if one can create a common and equal meeting ground within the boundaries of a performance.
