James Dalton is involved with theatre and non-traditional live performance constructs (amongst many other things) and based in Sydney. We got together to speak about banking culture and the affect of that on a city and its artistic communities. Instead we ended up discussing:

- graphic novels

- the trap of literacy

- the power of suggestion

- romantic production

- opera being the rave party of its time

- gratification delay

- experiencing a moment and retelling it later vs video recording a gig and re-screening it to your friends - “lived reportage”

- drinking the urine of a sharman

- crafting an experience to transport the viewer without the lasting wounds that living through the trauma would might leave behind
