The skins I leave (2021)
performance, 15'
The skins I leave (2021) explores transformation as both a physical and conceptual process. Through partnering with human and other-than-human bodies, (im)balances and bodily extensions, the performers surrender to transitions—shifting shape, role, and relation.
Over the course of this year long project, everyday day materials, psychogeographic maps and and deep dives into autobiographical elements that have shaped the performers’ perception of their bodies—such as organized religion, pandemic confinement, and physical contamination—are woven together to examine how the body adjusts, conforms, reacts, and rebels.
