Acceptable Behaviour“… is based around work avoidance : a physical and mental form of ‘delay’. We put a lot of energy into doing things that bare no relation to the task at hand. At the same time, our mind tends to escape into flights of fantasy. Using Corelli’s La Folia as the musical theme, Acceptable Behaviour seeks to heighten and transform the everyday into a physical and acoustic scofre which contrasts with the formality of Corelli’s Variations on La Folia. The performance also features Thierry de Mey’s Music for Tables, Jerome Kern’s Lovely to Look At, and Harry Revel & Mack Gorfdon’s Let’s Knock Knees”. Joanna Dudley & Cathy Adamek.
