Seeking to disrupt normative codifications of the body and
its experiences, and in particular the
gendering of the body through relationships with objects and technology. How
can the gendered body show its experiences? How can we move beyond prescribed
identifications, and towards empathy with the flesh? How can we make strange
the language of being in and representing the body? This work seeks to explore
such questions, in a site responsive performance at the Quarry in Acton,
Massachusetts. Intervening in a
masculinised site signifying, strength, progress and dominance over nature,
through acts of wilfulness and resistance emphasising experiences a female body
through material interactions.
