Getting to Know You
by Joshua Sofaer
Can I ask you some questions?
... What did you want to be when you grew up?
... ... Do you play hard to get?
... ... ... How close and warm is your family?
... ... ... ... What keeps you awake at night?
... ... ... ... ... Who is the most important person in your life?
... ... ... ... ... ... How well do you keep secrets?
This show is all about you: your friends, your family, your loves, your money, your career. If it fails, it’s your fault; if it succeeds you will be a star. Come and join the performance that puts the audience centre stage. It’s half quiz show and half therapy session; it’s enough to give you sweaty palms.

Often with an irreverent use of humour, he plays with established forms of production, appropriating and reconfiguring the chat show, competition, lecture, or museum display. He acts as curator, producer or director of a broad range of projects, including large-scale events, intimate performances, and publications.
