Home Show (1997-2004 – 3 editions)
The Home Show was a site-specific event, which placed the audience around a yet-to-be determined domestic setting, within which artists from various disciplines were invited to create work. In 1997, a Kitchen and then a Bedroom were brought to life by dancers and performance artists. In 1998, artists and public were crammed into a tiny bathroom followed by a spacious salon experience. In 1999, the event was revisited as “Home Movies” – a new dance experience involving celluloid, magnetic tape and the human body. In 2004, the event was taking place in the Study and the Corridor.
