Welcome to The Performance Kit an open access online tool specially created to make and analyse site-based, multimedia performance. Researched, designed and published for artists, scholars and students.
Upload your own performance materials eg.video clips, photographs, text and audio. Mix and match with new materials you find on the site. The kit reframes live and mediated performance in multimedia formats.
Become a member and add your videos and images to the archive and see it come up on the showreel in a random order. Comment on videos uploaded by you and members. Create associations between your work and The Performance Kit members in My projects. Add images and terms and enjoy the overlay and transparent qualities of the collage.
See how the Strip Analysis developed by Dr Anna Birch, Research Fellow in Theatre / Drama at Manchester Metropolitan University and Artistic Director Fragments & Monuments is used to discuss how recontextualisation is realised by blurred boundaries in Di’s Midsummer Night Party and Wollstonecraft Live! case studies. Apply the Strip Analysis to your own 'Strips' (video clips selected as units of analysis).
