'Investment is what happens when the performers before us seem bound up unspeakably with what they are doing - it seems to matter to them, it appears to hurt them or threatens to pleasure them, it seems to touch them, in some quite and terrible way.
Investment draws us in. Something is happening - real and therefore risked - something seems to slip across from the private world to the public one - and the performers are 'left open' or 'left exposed'.
To be bound up with what you are doing, to be at risk in it, to be exposed by it. As performers we recognise but cannot always control these moments - they happen, perhaps, in spite of us.'
We, performers of the Failure Project, need to invest. With a week to go we need to push against, stretch out and commit to our given tasks. Seek, discover, embarrass and expose. Who cares if we don't?
'Investment is the bottom line - without it nothing matters'
