Inter[r]-(Miss)ion

Working title of project (1-4 words): 
Inter[r]-(Miss)ion

Strategic outcome: 
Outcome 4 - New Zealand arts gain international success 

Discipline:
Pan-performance.

Idea or kaupapa:

The piece occurs in a modern theatre foyer and lasts 15-20 minutes.  The only performers are the theatre staff who will be paid as normal (see budget). 

A short program note and legal disclaimer will outline to audiences that Inter[r]-(Miss)ion is an event wholly external to their wider existence. It bifurcates their lived experience, which is therefore claimed in its entirety as a 'found performance' by the artists and is as such eligible for royalties (see budget). 

During the piece, audience members can autonomously choose to queue for the toilet, buy a magnum for $6 (see budget), stand and pretend to text, or hope to avoid that one person.

This event is planned as the central part of a trilogy, with presh0w and {post}s_how still in conceptual development.
