Theatre of Ocean (Abridged Series)

Theatre of Ocean: Stories of Performance Between Us is a memoir of outtakes from a performance artist moving backwards and forwards in space and time in a world recently past. Alexa Wilson offers us the interwoven remains of performance, love, art, culture, gender and politics. Juxtaposing real stories with art works and musings performed, scripted, staged, or improvised, Theatre of Ocean: Stories of Performance Between Us reveals an artist clawing at the possibilities for social-political change in a dynamic triumvirate of settings: New York, Berlin, New Zealand. An established international performance, dance and video artist from New Zealand but based in Berlin at the time of writing, Alexa Wilson leads the reader through a world of global performance traversing cultures and times during the peak and crisis of a consumer age.
