Run Time
Take the Credits! works from the idea that the final moments of a film — where, conventionally, a point of resolution has been reached, music plays and the credits roll — could become a climactic centre piece to a period of experimentation and collaborative making.
We will run short, drop-in workshops producing texts/scripts, images, objects/props and video that will gradually fill the venue with an installation.
