Documentary which explores how contemporary artists express emotion in their work. The programme discusses the art of Collier Schorr, Gabriel Orozco and Janine Antoni, who are introduced by actress Jane Alexander.

Jane Alexander had never been involved in mainstream politics and was happily engaged in her acting career when she was asked to consider becoming head of the embattled National Endowment for the Arts in the early 1990s. When, during her first visit to the Hill, Senator Strom Thurmond barked at her, "You gonna fund pornography?" she knew it would be a rough ride. Nothing had quite prepared her for the role of madame chairman. Her tenure coincided with the ascent of the infamous 104th Congress, presided over by Speaker Newt Gingrich, and its campaign to eliminate the Endowment completely. In Command Performance, Alexander brings a Washington outsider's perspective and an actor's eye for the telling human detail to an anecdote-filled story of the art of politics and the politics of art. And at the start of a new administration in Washington, she reminds us why we need art and why government should be in the business of supporting it.

"Cassie is an addict who has hit rock bottom. But unlike the other attendees at her support group, it's not substance abuse that has ruined her life and severed her from her family. Most importantly, she can't talk about her addiction: she's legally gagged. Cassie had a high-flying marketing job at Imagen, the tech giant behind the cutting-edge virtual reality experience Make-Believe (TM), and she got to know the product she was selling well. Too well. When Lewis joins the support group, Cassie knows instantly that he's recovering from addiction to Make-Believe too. Perhaps they could find solace together. But while her developing relationship with Lewis is a welcome escape from the real world, Imagen and Cassie are not done with each other yet, but what hope does Cassie have against that colossal company?"
