Hear and Now at the Market Theatre, Johannesburg, is co-directed by that award-winning team who gave us Tshepang: Lara Foot Newton and Gerhard Marx. It’s a kind of psychological drama with a few really great jokes and monologues. At its core, Hear and Now is worth seeing if only for Gerhard’s trademark brilliant set design, [...]

Interesting that although the working method here seems almost diametrically opposed [...]
Spent most of the weekend working on a new video piece for the t-minus 2006 festival, an exhibition and DVD produced by Joshua Goldberg and Chris Jordan, New York City.
