About Reactor
Reactor is sometimes Rector, aRector or even Ivan’s Dogs with an accent.
To be really reductive and slightly clumsy here, we ring up our mates and say let's get together on Saturday night and have some ‘fun’. No one has any fun, and the next day we get together with another bunch of mates and have some ‘right fun’ about the fact no one had any fun.
Documentation and video excerpts from 'The Gold Ones' at Radar and Plymouth Art Weekender can be viewed here. You can also read Wayne Burrow's take on 'A Weekend of Weird' here, with sexual desire, pantomime horses and Cosmic Care Homes.

Function
2003–2005, 2012
It’s that Reactor way of enforcing the premeditated and making a demand that we live in the moment.
The Green Man & Regular Fellows
2011
I held hands with strangers, gave a grown man a piggyback and danced and howled with wonderful irregularity to the jingling of tambourines.
Deathtrap

If taking part in a staged death, we cannot guarantee that this is staged.
Big Lizard’s Big Idea
2009–2010
A peculiar type of rebellion in which we don’t fight the system, but we get too involved, we play along too vigorously, we ’really believe in it’.
The Geodecity Project
2007–2010
Already, we were learning and appreciating unrecognized ways of working with each other from just this one small task, the weekend itself had not even begun.
Munkanon
2008–2010
The real everyday action of Munkanon carries on around me; its uncanny logic, its games and tasks, its dynamic of irrectitude.
The Tetra Phase

A project that puts its participants in a goldfish bowl.
Ivan’s Dogs, We Provide The Smiles

Pretty soon we were suspecting the general public and each other of being part of a sinister plan.

Very quickly did this world seem to become a reality, an entry to state of mind where new rules applied, but I didn’t know about them yet.

Reactor Party activists took to the streets to drum up support for the correct line of GHAOS.
GHAOS
2003–2005
The local dadaist Reactor troupe invaded the Cinema's cafébar on the final night with a hilarious grand-guignol performance.
Toy and Dismantle
2003
There’s that familiar Reactor combination of demand for compliance and playfulness, a bit like a friendly Labrador puppy that comes running up to you with a little stick of dynamite in its mouth.
Reactor
2002
Don’t miss Reactor: Creation before the destruction in this vast factory building which is soon to be reduced to rubble.
