NoFit State Circus



CIRCUS, REALLY? ER, WELL WE’D LIKE TO GIVE IT A CHANCE.

Hi, welcome to my talk. I really hope it’s good. And, by that I mean that you take something of self-defined value for you. I’ll be talking about the circus, its lenses, projections and aspirations and perception, I’ll show some videos, talk through the hows and whys and whats of creative decisions, examine what a show means, talk through creative constraints. Is any of this metamodern? I hope so.
