ROBERT FOSTER
I am interested in the tragi-comic, and the way it is possible to present the audience with propositions that can be viewed as playful, or disconcerting, to prompt questions of spectatorship. These outcomes are often durational, or participatory, and are influenced by the Theatre of the Absurd and slapstick comedy.
