Cornflakes
This clip includes an initial activity of laying a path of cornflakes along the pavement from
the nearest station at Half Moon (Limehouse) and in through the door of the theatre building of
Half Moon. Participants respond with due puzzlement. The theme of cornflakes continued in the
‘everyday’ activity of eating cornflakes choreographed within a workshop. The clip ends with an
extract from the final performance where cornflakes were part of Place and the sense of anarchic
disruption of the quotidian.
VVB had developed the idea of using cornflakes from the intensive two days where Mackey had laid
emphasis on disrupting the everyday as a means for participants to re-view their quotidian
environments. The choice of cornflakes is discussed by Mackey and VVB in the
Reflection on Cornflakes audio file below.
