Talking to the Tide
40 mins
Talking to the Tide is a participatory piece of performance art – a collaboration between audience and performer. The audience are invited to become active creators, writers and artists in this piece by making their mark on Ben’s skin. Anyone who wishes to share their sentiment or message with the audience may whisper it in Ben’s ear and he will share it with everyone else. Periodically, the ‘tide will go out’ and some of the marks and messages will be washed away.
Share as wholeheartedly as you will – secrets, thoughts, feelings, fears – in the knowledge that all is impermanent and will be washed away eventually…

His work encourages audience participation, transforming them into active performers and listeners.
