GRACE SURMAN

Midland White

Points to remember……… PUT the TOASTER down - PUT the BOWL on TABLE - GO TO MIC which is a bit too high - PUT ON WINGS (wear white at night so you can be seen in the dark) - PULL the ASSISTANT over by it’s tail - TAKE OFF Nike TRAINERS - STAND ON ASSISTANT - Good evening TEXT – “ASSISTANT – yes you, you WATCH” - PULL out white BREAD – PUT IN TOASTER – Snow White HAND CLAP……….hopefully a cloud of dust……….

There are moments of drama. There are movements, which look like dance. There are objects of flippancy, irreverence, intimacy, difficulty and the insubstantial. There are things that might make you laugh. And there is a bit where I try to make a rainbow.
