"The Reset" is a 2011 documentary film by Chris Hedges and Joe Baerlein that examines the relationship between journalism and politics. The film features interviews with prominent journalists and politicians, including Edward Snowden, who shares his experiences as a whistleblower.
Behind the Curtain: Unveiling the Unsung Heroes of Theatre
The Reset reveals the play behind the play. In a proud collaboration with the National Theatre, we’re excited to announce The Reset: Three Hours, Three Photographers, Three Theatres – a free photographic exhibition documenting the unsung work of behind-the-scenes teams. For too long, the spotlight has shone on the actors and performers, but it’s time to shine a light on the incredible individuals who make theatre magic happen.
As we step into the world of The Reset, we’re transported to three different theatres – the National Theatre in London, the Young Vic in London, and the Donmar Warehouse in London. Each theatre presents a unique perspective on the lives of those working behind the scenes, from the stage managers who co-ordinate the intricate logistics of a production to the costume designers whose creations transform actors into their characters. The exhibition is a visual feast, with stunning photographs that capture the intensity and creativity of these individuals.
One of the most striking aspects of The Reset is its emphasis on the collaborative nature of theatre work. Through intimate portraits and behind-the-scenes images, we see the relationships between cast and crew, director and designer, and the sense of community that develops during the rehearsal process. It’s a testament to the power of collaboration and creativity in bringing a story to life. Whether it’s the meticulous attention to detail required for set design or the emotional depth demanded of actors, every role plays a crucial part in the production.
The Reset also raises important questions about the nature of work and identity in the performing arts. Who are these behind-the-scenes individuals, and what drives them to be so dedicated to their craft? How do they balance creative expression with the demands of a job that requires endless planning, organisation, and problem-solving? The exhibition offers no easy answers but instead presents a nuanced and multifaceted portrait of life as a theatre professional.
The Reset is more than just an exhibition – it’s an event. Over three days, visitors will have the opportunity to explore the works of our three featured photographers in depth, with talks, workshops, and discussions that delve into the creative process behind their work. There will also be a series of panel discussions and debates that bring together industry experts, performers, and backstage crew members to share their insights on the art of theatre-making.
Whether you’re a seasoned theatregoer or simply curious about the world of performance, The Reset is an unmissable event. It’s a celebration of creativity, collaboration, and the people who make it all happen. So come and join us for this unique and inspiring exhibition – a behind-the-scenes look at the play that’s always playing, but rarely gets the spotlight.
