Work In Progress
Live-Streamed Performance - 2022Performed at Scratch|Meet 4 - 2022
Devised by Late to the Party
Illustrated by Liza Stevens
Work In Progress is the first piece devised by Late to the Party. It is a work in progress, about work in progress by a work in progress.
The performance is a new piece of devised theatre but it is also an act of recovery. It is a step into becoming and feeling better after a long time of not feeling able.
It’s short but it’s defiant. It’s making a start to starting again.
The initial performance was a live-stream for three close friends. Mostly to make sure it “wasn't s***” and it turns out it wasn't. It was a moment of returning home.
The next performances are planned to branch out a little and to welcome more people to watch it. One will be live-streamed and another in a space with other people. These performances are about building (little by little) a process, confidence, maybe a community.
Upcoming Performances
This is a work-in-progress stream of a piece called Work In Progress which is about being a work-in-progress. We've been using this piece to explore both in person performances and now streaming to reach audiences a bit more further afield.
