| HOST, advertised as 'an innovative new media and performance-based collaboration between Gravity Feed and Horst Kiechle' was presented 15 times during January 1999 at the Newtown Theatre, Sydney, Australia. Gravity Feed is a Sydney based all-male performance ensemble (formed in 1992) whose work moves between the genres of dance, physical theatre and performance art - site-specific, architectural, dense and atmospheric.
Gravity Feed's original performances are pervaded by sound-scapes, original compositions by in-house sound artist The collaborative process between Gravity Feed and myself as the 'new media component', spanned almost 2 years. Throughout this time the original concept by Alan Schacher and myself - of a movable set on an architectural scale that, at some stage would envelope the audience, itself movable - changed little although potential realisations explored many possible roads depending on potential performance venues. The top four links on the right document a range of preliminary investigations whereas 'Architectural Fragments' presents the various components of the final designs through photographs taken during the performances.
