  Reads, in part "In Dianne Reid's recent work Dance Interrogations (a Diptych), performed as part of the 2015 Melbourne Fringe Festival by Reid and collaborating artist Melinda Smith, spectators had no seats but rather roamed, observing two mature dancers.

I address the theatrical event through the multifaceted lens of the performers' experiences, spectators' responses and my own observations."
