3. Collaboration and Theatre Materiality

In November 2019 site-specific artists Forster & Heighes took up residency at Wimbledon College of Arts at the invitation of The Space Gallery to create an installation and performance lecture in response to the re-configuration of the college to accommodate students of performance and acting. The installation ‘Trig Point’ and its accompanying performance lecture ‘On the Hoof’ were devised out of many conversations with colleagues, staff and students at Wimbledon as well as others from further afield and the podcast series has been an opportunity to invite responses and reflections from some of those people on the main themes of the project – namely an exploration of the material and spatial resourcing  of performance teaching in the contemporary creative academy.
