A collaboration between Siobhan Rigg, Carolyn Lambert, and Robin Hewlett, Welcome to the C District was a mobile performance that approached the city as a theater in which to explore intersecting uses in contested urban space. The performance involved 16 performers and ran for 60 minutes. It was performed 8 times for small groups of planned and spontaneous audience members. Dispersed over four city blocks and two indoor locations, the performance wove in and out of the everyday activity of the street. In contested spaces, power structures become evident as some desires gain priority over others, dictating the subtle codes of exclusion and inclusion that define public space. Welcome to the C District included scripted scenarios, video projections, and sound installations to conflate factual and fictional versions of Liberty Avenue. Characters crossed time and spatial boundaries in order to ask: Who plans the city? Whose stories are told as history? Can performance offer an ephemeral alternative to the inclusions and exclusions of city planning?
