Inner Course: Incidents in Romance Technologies
A crash course in love, performance art style.
Overview
Provocative in both name and nature is Inner Course, the performance art duo of New York City's Tora Lopez and Rya Kleinpeter. Incidents in Romance Technologies: 101 Making Love (Out of Nothing at All) is their latest so-called course, which "introduces the basic concepts and methodologies that characterise romance as a field of inquiry."
But Lopez and Kleinpeter aren't overzealous Bridget Jones theorists; Incidents in Romance Technologies, if you hadn't already picked it, is a bit of a farce. With 'celebrity guest dance therapists', Daphane Park, Emiliano Maggi, Cat Glennon, Michael Gruenglas, Lisa Lozano and Bryony Geeves. Inner Course will perform Incidents in Romance Technologies: 101 Making Love (Out of Nothing at All) from 6-8pm on Wednesday, February 19, until Friday, February 21.
Alaska Projects, a Kings Cross artist-run initiative, will host the absurdist performance. Just know that viewers are unlikely to remain mere viewers. You know, breaking the fourth wall and all.
