Artist Tris Vonna-Michell was a photographer dissatisfied with letting his images do the talking, so he began evolving stories around them. These stories, told while showing photocopies and projected slides and handing out various props (such as an egg timer that determines the length of the story to be told), are dense and rapidly articulated. At London's Cubitt gallery Vonna Mitchell performed in a dark and crowded room, so visibility is low, but the tale and the telling are absolutely worth a listen.

TRANSMISSIONS: All the world's a stage
One of Shakespeare's most frequently-quoted passages, from As You Like It, considers the world as nothing but a theatrical stage where humans are actors, playing different roles. Tate Modern's 'The World as a Stage' ponders contemporary artworks that reference the theatrical. The tableau vivant by young Hamburg artist Ulla Von Brandenburg, staged with five real actors locked into a stiff, mime-based scenario set to a soundtrack, had the most immediate resonance with the theme, though other works in the exhibition are worth investigation.
