Portal
Third train-piece devised as a member of 11:18. Portal was an audio-visual guided tour for a train journey from Ipswich to Felixstowe in November 2012; a railway journey rich in history which passes through diverse landscapes and communities. Perhaps this small corner of the UK plays a vital role in the country’s economy? Come with us and make yourself comfortable, as we take you on a journey that explores past and future; local and global trading; land and sea. Portal was part of SPILL Festival of Performance 2012. Supported by Arts Council England and National Lottery, Greater Anglia
