Search Party: The Long Walk to the Performance
PAD, Mainz, Germany

This is a party, a Search Party and we made it just for you. Put on your best outfit, let your hair down and dance like no-one’s watching. This party can’t last forever, so let’s make the most of it while we can.

Join Search Party as they re-tell and re-enact stories of hope and optimism, of tragedy and regret. Search party are determined to remain optimistic but as the tragedies accumulate and the failures escalate, it becomes a test of optimistic endurance.

Search Party is the collaboration of artists Pete Phillips and Jodie Hawkes. Since 2005 we have been making live art that re-negotiates the relationship between artist and audience. We make site specific, studio based and durational performances that attempt to create temporary communities, inviting spectators to become co-collaborators in the live event. Our current work questions the relationship between sport and performance, borrowing the notion of team to examine connections between individual, group and place.
