BCAF Commission

Phillip Henderson has been commissioned to produce a new performance as part of The Event 2011. The work is the eighth in an ongoing series of lectures written and performed by Phillip. The sixth is archived in the British Library.

Phillip’s absurd use of language and controlled delivery goes beyond monologue and invites the audience to participate in the experience of time travel.

Suggestive parlance is used, tenses are switched, paragraphs are palindromic and unconventional sentence structures take the audience on a journey through language and their own imagination. Previous executions have also seen members of the audience engaged in collective awakenings leaving them questioning their definition of reality.

Time Machine Lecture #8 is free of charge. To book your space please email:
