Stormy Waters

Meadowside Granary, Glasgow

1995

Stormy Waters was a vision of the real possibility for simultaneous dialogue across physical borders. An innovative live event simultaneously using the internet as part of the performance and broadcasting the results live back to the internet. A host of participants linked electronically with one hundred performers in the last working shipyards in glasgow, exploring how the world might be - not just how it is. The innovative live event took place at the Meadowside Granary, which was the largest brick building in Scotland at the time in 1995 but has since been demolished in 2002. It explored a city simultaneously trapped by its past and willing to face its future. Using huge images, soundscapes, text and movement the entire site was activated.
