How is the theme of change present in the work?

The Time & Tidal Flow live art and performance projects are linked by the theme of change. If you are an artist performing, how does this theme relate to your work?

Largely, how can a work reflect tiny or momentous shifts in time, place and history? Does this make the work have an overall purpose/story to tell and should these themes be obvious to the audience or used as a starting point?
