January 2006 | Texterritory Lab
for the artist Sheron Wray
The Texterritory Lab was unusual in that it was centred on the work of a single artist, the dancer and choreographer Sheron Wray
Sheron commissioned a 5-day residential Lab to explore the potential of text technology in her performance.
“What it mainly did was to accelerate thinking that would otherwise have taken months or years, and built a community of interest and expertise to inspire and refer to.” Greg Hilty
