Sleepover

Sleepover was a beautifully bizarre 24 hour performance art piece, radio show and podcast I helped make for CBC. It all started with a feeling that Sook-Yin Lee had watching so much discord on social media and how people were so quick to unfollow or block each other instead of taking a conversation deeper. So the idea developed to bring three complete strangers together to talk about the tough stuff and try to make it better. The question was - Will they come together or fall apart?

We decided it would be important have it be long duration so relationships could develop in real time inspired by SY’s durational art experiments. We batted around a bunch of different ideas of how and where that could happen, maybe a geodesic dome or a plain white room, or an island..but finally SY had the idea of a sleepover. Below is a taste of what that looked like. I recommend starting with Episode 1: Charlie’s Conundrum
