Exploring the epic and the banal, Action Hero (Emma Paintin and James Steinhouse) creates performance that is intimate, distinctive and invigorating, examining the iconography of popular culture and its use; both as a weapon and as a shared cultural memory. This collection includes the pieces Hoke’s Bluff , Slap Talk , Watch Me Fall , A Western , Frontman and Extraordinary Rendition .
Amazing book by (in my view) the most exciting performance company working today. The writing in their work has always excited me so great to get a chance to sit down with it, designed and printed in a way that constantly reminds you of the limits of the theatrical text. Hoke's Bluff is a real treasure.
