Abstract

In CTR 126, I began a series of three linked articles that consider aspects of the relationship between theatricality and performativity in the work of the Toronto / New York intermedia performance ensemble, Bluemouth Inc. The first article explored the impact of the unanticipated relocation of the company’s 2005 recreation of American Standard from Pat’s Barber Shop on Toronto’s D’Arcy Street to the cavernous rehearsal space of Zero Gravity Circus in the same city’s industrial East End. The second article (in CTR 127) profiled Bluemouth Inc’.s 2005 reimaging of the performance Lenz in the evocative (indeed, provocative)Ye Olde Carleton Arms Hotel in New York City and, in particular, that production’s complex negotiation between mediation and madness. This third essay focuses specifically on Bluemouth Inc’.s soundscape artist, Richard Windeyer, and queries the relationship between his sound installation work and his contributions to the company’s collective, site-specific productions.
