Pearson/Brookes represents the recent and on-going collaboration between Mike Brookes and Mike Pearson; their collective proposals and theories; and the performance works they produce.

Mike Pearson and Mike Brookes are currently developing innovative forms of participatory performance, responsive to changed political circumstances. Forms that problematise notions of 'character' and 'plot' the means by which dramatic material is generated and exhibited, and pose important questions about the nature of theatrical representation. Their practice constitutes performance as social enquiry and action rather than simple artistic reflection. |
