A day of talks, discussions, performance and film looking at
Theatre and The World of Money
Friday 12th November, 10:00 - 17:30 at Tramway, Glasgow
Organised by Suspect Culture
Strange Behaviour 2004 continues Suspect Culture's ambition to bring
together theatre practitioners and people working in other fields to
share perspectives and experiences and examine points of contact between
different, apparently unrelated disciplines.
This year the themes will be transaction, currency, globalisation,
McTheatre, the philosophy of money and prostitution.
- How can theatre portray current economic realities?
- Where does theatre sit in the global marketplace?
- Is your money performing?

"These events are called Strange Behaviour because when we first
started we were constantly asked why a theatre company would want to
spend its time and resources outside the rehearsal room, investigating
apparently unrelated fields - but the motive is quite simple, and in
its way quite radical. We do it because it's interesting. Knowledge
today is increasingly divided up, compartmentalised and given over to
specialists, and yet, as the sales of popular science books show, there
seems to be a hunger in people for a space where our curiosity about
the world can be indulged. Where ideas can be discussed and connections
made without the need for products, results or measurable educational
goals. So the aim of Strange Behaviour is simply to see what happens
when two worlds of knowledge and experience briefly collide. We're not
looking for answers or researching a project. We simply assume that
you, like us, enjoy the process of exploration for its own sake."
David Greig, playwright & Artistic Associate with Suspect Culture
