04 MAKING A SPECTACLE
2020
Phaedra Brown in rehearsal for ‘A Small Spectacle’
The culmination of my honours research, a companion paper to the work ‘A Small Spectacle’.
The paper discusses the way the project as a whole was informed by the notion of being spectacular. I accumulate definitions of spectacle, informed by history and by the creation of A Small Spectacle. I also discuss the way spectacle is perceived and curated by the viewer, the performer, and in the broader digital world.
