1998 Performances for an Orange and Violet Room

(in which both colours will be present)

The venue Performances for an Orange and Violet Room (in which both colours will be present) came about in part because of my interest in how colour affects people within their environment both physically and spiritually. The choice of the colours was made in terms of their contradictory dynamics — one being warm, the other cool — as well as their relationships historically to opposing viewpoints of the world. For example, the colour orange represents the chakra for sexual energy, while violet represents the spiritual. How the performer negotiates, interprets and manipulates the dynamic, producing a unique message, is of great interest in terms of how the abstract (colour) can influence our behaviour, perceptions and emotions.
