God’s Dice was a “sculpture play” presented by Geoffrey Farmer in association with Theatre of Erosion or I Hate Work That Is Not A Play, a four-week thematic residency that he led at Banff Centre in 2010. Continuing his interest in time and place, and in art that makes process visible, Farmer created new work with participants in residence. Incorporating props from the Theatre Department, such as mirrors, musical instruments, sculptures, texts and costumes, this conceptual work makes use of chance operations, improvisational methods, and choreographed actions. It is the sum of all these parts that creates a singular narrative, a final story that can only be fully realized at the moment the end is announced.
