ARTISTIC POLICY

REVIEW EXTRACTS
'One of the most exhilarating theatrical experiences you’ll encounter. You leave feeling contemplative, thrilled and ever so slightly paranoid.' Metro (Uncle Roy All Around You)

'Their practice speaks to a media-wise generation in its content and message. Whatever the tools applied, they always create a compelling environment of danger and thrill.' BE Magazin, Germany

CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
Day of the Figurines Interactive Installation. Part board game, part secret society, players select a figurine and develop their character which is placed in a model of an imaginary city. From then on, the game is played via mobile phone where events happen and stories unfold each day. (Up to 1000 participants, duration up to 24 days)

Can You See Me Now? Interactive online performance. Thrilling, live game of chase played online and on the streets of a real city. Online players can exchange tactics to outrun Blast Theory performers who are tracked by satellites on the real city streets trying to catch you. (Unlimited global audience/participants, duration up to 6 hours per day, Blast Theory will work with local artists)

The Potential Thief Performance Installation. New performance work exploring the relationship between the individual and cinematic image. In a kind of karaoke choreography, performers and audience members negotiate one another’s movements as they copy excerpts from films. Audience size dependent on venue (Blast Theory artists will invite 3 audience members to join each performance, scale and duration are flexible)

Trucold and Other Works Exhibition/Installation. Selection of videos, interactive computer-based work and archival documentation of recent internationally acclaimed works. (Scale and duration are flexible)
