ALT Jack Marley pictured alongside a quote from his written piece. Text reads: ' I wanted to know what it feels like to stand in front of an audience for that long, doing nothing. Is it absurd? Contemplative? Uncomfortable? I found that attention shifted not only to other sounds in the space but also to me: my face, my body, the reality of my physical existence on that stage... In that moment we broke out of the routine and the expected – both in the concert and at large – however uncomfortable that might have been.
