20 | 45 | 45 | 45 | 90 | 20  (Bread Scores) is both a performance and act of collective knowledge production, choreographing itself around the sourdough bread making process. Denoting the “fallow” moments in the process of making sourdough, the project’s title references the intervals of time between inputs of careful labour. The project fills these pauses with activities and workshops drawn from the bread-making process.

The project has been enacted a number of times, with each performance developing a score that serves as both documentation of the day’s activities and a recipe for baking bread. Creating an environment for exchange, each participant in turn leads the group through their chosen activity, developing a new body of shared knowledge between themselves, communicated to a broader public through the performance score and recipe – disseminated as a digital poster and printed zine.

From 2020 – 2021 the project was primarily performed digitally, and since 2022 it has been held both digitally and in person.
