IMPRESSIONS ON BUILT TO LAST by MEG STUART / by Merel Heering and Giorgia Nardin

After Meg Stuart's Built To Last, presented last night, feb 27th, at Kampnagel / Tanz Plattform Deutschland we gathered three word impressions from the audience.

We asked the audience members exiting the studio to give us the first three words they could think of to describe their experience of Stuart's work.

Here is what they said:

Audience member 1: great / nerves / painful

Audience member 2: joy / confusion / overload

Audience member 3: complex / expansive / energizing

Audience member 4: insignificant / human / absurd

Audience member 5: satisfied / scintillating / amused

Audience member 6: smily / disturbing / huge

Here is what we said:

Merel: particles / shaking / question mark

Giorgia: journeys / intuition / activities

Here are the questions we raised after gathering the audience's experience:

As a maker, at what point in the research process does the audience come in?

As an audience, how do you construct your experience of a performance?

As humans, how do we build something that we can hold on to?
