At what point does an audience become responsible for the work; how it unfolds or turns out?
Is there a risk they do not realise this point arrives? Where might confusion arise?
What conventions pre-suppose a lack of responsibility from a paying public?
In what ways can you be responsible for something you 'witness'?
We are going to create a dance festival
where the different pieces are exercise videos that we commission.
Each exercise video is a dance.
A dance which you learn, which you incorporate.
By learning this dance, you also exercise.
The dance festival 'programme' will be curated so that each dance - each exercise video - works on a different part of the body, or mind.

- "During Italian lockdown in 2020, Marche Teatro borrowed the \"Poetical consultancy\" format by Fabrice Melquiot to offer the audience a Poetry-Doctor consultation against isolation. Someone will call you on a specific time and date, have a brief chat about who you are and what you were experiencing in lockdown, and prescribed you a poem, that the Doctor will read."
