Mission page 1
Social exclusion has touched everybody at some point in their lives. Some people are at perpetual risk whilst others may manage to align themselves with prescribed social norms. Other cases such as economic, gendered, racial, religious, geographic, and age related - paint a sociopolitical landscape of inequality that; as the past century has highlighted You cannot simply fix these issues with a band aid and good will. Greater means therefore are necessary.
multitude of ubiquitous media coupled with financial uncertainty on the world stage has brought into focus the necessity for change. As people educate themselves in public squares around the world and find their collective voice we cannot escape the fragility of a financial system built on debt. As ever, we live in a time of war. A time where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. A time of great ideas and overwhelming disorder. We are truly in flux!

Acknowledging this to be true it must be stated that (in)Xclusion is not a cry out for doom and gloom.. but instead a provocation.
(in)Xclusion is a creative research project - inspired by recent world events - that seeks to explore the issues of exclusion in its many forms. Navigating the landscapes of performance and documentation, our aim is to celebrate being an outsider. Face up to it. Own it! Maybe even break down the barriers that created it. Our struggle is to understand the inescapable complexity of divisions that we all share and contribute to enforce.
Through a process of negotiation we will create a 24 hour event showcasing 24 new performance works that respond to this very provocation. The event will be encompassed by a series of exploratory workshops, discussions and gatherings. In addition to these ephemeral strands of research we will also produce a newspaper and website to provide contextual documentation of our findings.
From the outset (in)Xclusion seeks to be ambitious in its delivery at every level of encounter. Far from providing answers we are dedicated to opening the space for debate. As Einstein would have it - If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research
