Hi,

Team MESS is the collaborative output of a group of five young artists - Dara, Frank, Natalie, Sime and Malcolm - who work across the performing and visual arts. As a collective we use the conventions, rituals and spectacles of popular culture and everyday life to stage theatre events that close the critical distance between the work and the viewer and open up a shared space of experience, exchange and possibility. We then use this space to explore contemporary modes of narrative production and audience agency.

Our work together includes: BINGO Unit, a television crime drama shot with members of the general public; This Is It, a performed press-conference for a non existent new film; I Think I Can Dance, a Cartesian choreography dance competition; Killing Don: Evolution of a Memory, a party in celebration and lamentation of memory and nostalgia; You and Me and a Very Large Bottle, a game of spin the bottle to fill a void in a young woman’s life.
