how is work?

how is work? takes a conversation as performance. Conversation as a form of rebellion, as the starting point for communities yet to be made.

From behind a screen (or from across the table), this piece invites workers (any worker) to partake in an open conversation/discussion/presentation/storytime/vent about their work. The screen is there for your own anonymity and safety should you need it.

Against the backdrop of labour movements across our creative industries (locally and globally) this piece hopes to break through the film that separates our discrete/eet movements and the silence that cuts through integrated mobilisation. We will come together to openly discuss ‘how is work?’ in order to explore how we survive.

The performance will be followed by a lunch at Queen Vic Market and communal banner painting.
