Moving Into Place

- I’m concerned about the sightlines.
- From where?
- Everywhere. Well, not the front, obviously. But when it’s happening . . .
- It will be moving, you realise?
- I know, but wherever it is . . . people will have to twist.
- I don’t see that as a problem.
- Some might . . . I might find it uncomfortable.
- To twist?
- Not just the twisting, it’s staying there. In that position.
- I’ve already said, it will be moving.
- But if you’re on this side – well, the other side too, but for the moment
I’m imagining myself on this side . . .
- You won’t be on this side.
- If I were, though, if I was, then, you see, I’d be twisting, turning my head.
- If it was behind you, yes, but then it would come forward . . .
- . . . Yes . . .
- . . . And you wouldn’t have to turn at all. There wouldn’t be a problem.
- If it’s in front of you, though, I don’t mean you, specifically, unless you sit . . .
- I won’t be sitting, I’ll be here. Standing.
- Anyone, then. Anyone who’s here . . . or there, but let’s say for the sake of argument that you’re here, no, not you, not me, someone, she, her, all of them, are watching, looking back, twisting their shoulders, what will they see – I mean, what will they see if it’s here? Or there? Or behind them?
- They’ll see what’s behind them.
- That’s what I mean. They’ll turn, and all they will see is . . .
- . . . is each other. That’s right. They’ll see the people who can see.
- Even when . . .

Moving Into Place

- . . . Especially when it’s moving. If it’s behind them, they can’t see. Unless they’re at the back.
- So those are the best seats.
- Not at all. As it moves . . . you see . . . here . . . towards me . . . I’ll be here, you see . . . all they will see is where it was . . . and where it’s gone.
- They won’t know where it’s going.
- Where else could it have gone? There’s no space here . . .
- . . . No . . .
- So where else could it be going? It’s gone away from them. Towards me. Away from you.
- I’ll be . . .
- Outside. Making sure that everyone is in place, before it begins. And you’ll greet them, when it ends.
- Greet them. Yes.
- Encourage them to come again. Especially if they didn’t see it properly. Next time they might get a different seat.
