Ame Henderson trained as a dancer and a dramatic artist, many of the performances that she and her company perform are verbatum theatre and are made to make the audience feel uncomfortable in ploaces or not sure what is going on.
Alot of the verbatum theatre performed have the performers listening to tapes of peoples stories and they have to repeat what they hear. 300 tapes was a good example of this-it had three performaers who reported anecdotal history/personal stories. The performers have the same tape and speak out loud what they are hearing, as the performance goes on the tape degrades so demonstrates this in performance and this changes as it goes on/each time. The stage design became a tape player.
A piece called 'the most together we've ever been' was created to adapt to any venue that they travelled to, they did this by creating a set from the objects fromk within the venue.
