Young people’s lives are dominated by social media: selfies, meme
cycles, video filters, "likes" and emojis. This screen culture defines
their generation, but it's a world often hidden from the adults in their
lives.
Set in a TV studio, Anything & Everything is a live
performance that glimpses into the intimate online and IRL spaces where
young people navigate technology, identity, ability, connection and
consent.
Director Jackson Castiglione (The Dispute) works with an
ensemble of artists aged between 11 and 21 who've collaborated online
for two years. As the performers joke, share and converse live
onstage, their peers manipulate cameras, digital filters and video.
Together they augment their identities in real-time to explore the
thresholds between screen, reality and agency.
