Tim's Ozzie Border Control Story

I walked around Shoreditch asking people "Where Is Home For You?" These are their answers. Made for Territories R&D performance in Shoreditch Town Hall.

Where Is Home? For Shoreditch

Ellie reading the text of the General Act from The Berlin Conference of 1884–85, also known as the Congo Conference or the West Africa Conference. This Act regulated European colonization and trade in Africa during the New Imperialism period, and coincided with Germany's sudden emergence as an imperial power. Called for by Portugal and organized by Otto von Bismarck, first Chancellor of Germany, its outcome, the General Act of the Berlin Conference, can be seen as the formalization of the Scramble for Africa. The conference ushered in a period of heightened colonial activity by European powers, which eliminated or overrode most existing forms of African autonomy and self-governance. (thanks Wikipedia!)

As part of the devising process for the first Territories R&D week, we went around Bridport with a microphone asking people "What's the biggest journey you've ever been on?" The recordings were used in the performance at The Lyric Theatre in Bridport on 19th March 2016.

Territories is a play about European identity. On the 16th July in Shoreditch Town Hall a small company of performers will present stories and songs from across the continent. Brexit Interviews are a mini-series of conversations with people in London who voted 'Leave' and 'Remain'.
