You won't find the Cambridge based In Situ: Theatre Company in a theatre, they specialise in environmental theatre and their performances are adapted to or inspired by the space in which they perform. A normal suburban house, a Leper Chapel, an Iron Age fort, and many other enivronments have seen peices developed and performed within them. My first contact with the company came in 2006: a performance of Henrik Ibsen's Hedda Gabler in a bungalow in a village outside Cambridge. The main play happened in one room while the off-stage characters roamed around the house giving a mixture of performace and commentary: elaborating on the chracter in a kind-of 'to camera' way that shows awareness of the audience without participation, or developing a theme within a character in a closed room, or revealing an action mentioned but not shown in the play itself. There were so many memorable moments in the performance I wanted to capture something in a painting and the result was 'Lovberg', the character had lost the manuscript that would see him realise his potential in a drunken haze and these tensions were enacted in an off-stage scene in a bathroom. Loveberg was pinning up phot-copied images of himself in his youth on the walls and bemoaning himself for losing something so important. The painting shows the bathroom and the pinned up pictures and the back of the actor's head in the bathroom mirror. Part of the way that the company develope their actors skills in reacting to the environments they are place in is in weekend or week long courses in a particular location. Autumn 2007 saw them spend a week in Llandudno, North Wales, and I accompanied them as Artist-in-Residence. The fruits of that week are displayed tonight at the house they often use for performances, 23 Wycliffe Road, Cambridge, along with some of my other work. The pieces In the Hall of Glaine Orme and The Audience in my painting gallery are from that commission. Kristian, Friday 22nd August 14.20 www.insitutheatre.co.uk/
