directors spell#7: Ben Slater & Kaylene Tan
location Little India
notes This hour is loosely based on a performance that we created last year called 'Kinda' Hot'. In that piece we took small audiences on a route around the Little India area and played out a narrative about two people who follow each other. This story was really a way to open up the place to the audiences eyes and allow them to see a real place in new and fresh ways. The hour is structured in roughly the same way as the performance, the first half guided by Ben on camera and after a break at the coffee shop, Kaylene takes over. Just as in the performance, the interplay of our two charcters in this hour is really just a way of experiencing the vibrancy of this area. We also had the luxury of having a prologue on the new NEL line, with its illuminated tunnels, and an epilogue at bustling Tekka Market at lunchtime.
