Portable darkroom!!

From Nova darkroom website- a portable, travelling darkroom!!! like the fact it was you can set up a temporary darkroom anywhere..even a launderette..haha! and up to 3 people can get inside. could add an exterior layer to this (photos- stitching together relics of the experience within?)- make it more tent like. or the 'skin' becomes a projection surface? live feed? flickr/personal photos? like the idea that a tent wall has ears though..hmm...a private moment inadvertantly made public

this means if used a flash light to expose the image and premixed the chemicals..the darkroom could literally go anywhere inside or out - anywhere a participant felt maybe that was special to them for some reason....the mind boggles...on a beach, wood, could work with found material and photos..photowalk?

the only issue i suppose could be lack of projector without electricity- either battery operated or use photographic 'lanterns' where torch light inside casts shadow of photographic imagery on transparency paper?

anyway- whether i use this item or the idea of it -its great!!

Home Suite- domestic performance

image from www.katherinewheel.com website

this Home Suite performance by the collective , i have emailed to go see- people have paid the collective to have it staged in their homes....hmmm...this makes me think of the idea i had for a portable performance coming from a suitcase/box- in a participants own home, staged darkroom and projections in a den/closet/shed type performance. or- i create a light tight portable darkroom tent which i take an erect in a participants home/garden/etc

am still unsure about whether my work is continuing to be one-to -one, the space-in-between will be good to try this out in small numbers- threes and fours, and how this changes to nature of the performance.

would participants have to have a particular thing in common, which is explored in the performance?- like uninvited guests at nrla- song dedications to someone you love

eg same secret to share- 'something you wouldn't tell your mum'
all got an older brother? and bring a photo of them and their brother?
story of 'loss of innocence'??
all bring a box of secrets/memory box?

how would i establish this commonality?
