The section that struck me most in Etchells 8 Fragments was Observation/Coincidence. He talks about how we walk by people every day not interacting. For instance, “we pass each other like objects on a projection line.” (Etchells, 1999, 79). It both has such poignancy and relates to how Chloe and I are working. We are creating a dream- like space on the high street. One of the performance features will be freedom to speak as you wish. So Etchells could be a great influence and enable us to create a space in which we can utilise the “endless possibilities of passing each other on the street” (Etchells, 1999, 79).
