Mission Statement

there is no such thing as a community,
we are individual men and women, and
we are families/ the communities we
indentify ourselves belonging to; students,
neighbours, colleagues, punks, are all
social constructs to content us in our
solitude/ a comfort blanket/
Even though we pass through many social
groupings throughout a day, when we go to
bed, even if we are sharing our bed, we are
ultimately alone with only our inner most
selves/
the tie that binds us together is experience/
experience of laughter, experience of dirt,
experience of missing your train home/ it is
through our shared experience of an event
that brings us together momentarily in a vast
universe/
not a community in the traditional pseudo
sense we have thought about in the past, this
project endeavours to form a new more honest
approach to social cohesion/ if communities
must exist they should be a group of varied
and intrinsically different individuals/ after all
there is only one of us, how is it even possible
to assign us to any generic notion of massed
humanity/
transient communities proposes a series of
events designed, planned and spontaneous
to bring together these disaparate strangers,
as audience, in a transient reaction, which for
a moment in time shall force the individuals
into a passing community bound together
by a shared feeling, memory, experience///
