 For Their Own Good         Odyssey Steps

For Their Own Good

Synopsis:
Can the way we kill animals tell us anything about how we deal with our own demise? In a former veterinary demonstration room, two knackermen investigate the pitfalls of being high up the evolutionary chain. Combining puppetry, new writing and documentary material this show tells a moving and darkly comic tale about the only certainty in life: death and how its become removed from us as a process. Unflinching honesty, genuinely humbling and unique (Strawberry Line Times). Bitesize commission supported by WAC, mac, Bristol Ferment, China Place and Arts Council England. Part of British Council Showcase.

Odyssey Steps

Synopsis:
This is described on this Birmingham-based company's website as "the latest in a series of 'not quite theatre' shows that have brought Stan's Cafe international acclaim". Not quite theatre? I agree, for this is not an interaction between actor and performer but a piece where the audience member becomes performer, following a 'script' laid out as vinyl images placed on floor, walls and other surfaces to lead them on a journey theoretically enabling them to act out the incidents of the story. The concept is described as inspired by teach-yourself-to-dance floor mats and presumably you are intended to place your feet - and perhaps hands too - directly on the positions marked out by vinyl stickers.
- Howard Loxton, British Theatre Guide

Devised by Simon Ford And James Yarker, with Denise Stanton And Jack Trow
