Artwork & Design Journal For The Inventive Industries
Homework concerned assignments from Newson’s hospital studying record and writing about their very own worst qualities. In class, they led workshops for each other about issues like pornography and males in nightclubs. And they improvised for 5 weeks, six days a week, 9 hours a day. Newson started thinking about the themes that underlie “Enter Achilles†while he was in Glasgow in 1993 conducting a research project, something he does on a regular basis to generate ideas. He took beer into rehearsal to loosen up a gaggle of dancers, and that gave him the thought of setting a bit in a pub. The dancers–all of whom happened to be straight, “blokey blokes,†as he puts it–told tales of males consuming 20 pints in an evening, of getting bullied in membership loos because they may dance.
