Performers Note This piece requires the two performers to each have their own measuring tape. The suggested way to hold the tape sideways in front of your chest area. One hand will be holding the tape and the other extends the tape away to the side of the body. flick the tape hook with the index finger. pull the tape hook approximately 10 - 25cm and release the hook. pull the tape hook approximately 50 - 70cm and release the hook. pull the tape hook approximate 1 - 1.5m and let the hook return with the fingers guiding it back to the case.
Programme Note tape measure explores the issues that has come up due to the COVID-19 pandemic specifically the idea of social distancing in public where we are told to have a physical distancing of at least 1m or more (varies depending on regulations on each countries) by using tape measure or measuring tape. The usage of tape measure are explored in a more ironic manner rather than a serious one.
