MORE OR LESS CONCRETE (2012)
MORE OR LESS CONCRETE is an analytical performance work,
centred on introverted & contained bodies that observe & listen.
Through the act of listening they produce 'audible movements' as they pass
through cyclical patterns, transcend thought & embody meditative states.
The bodies are abstracted as they transform between
human,
animal,
monster,
machine &
‘other’.
The choreography oscillates & suspends between recognisable ‘concrete’ realities & ambiguous or surrealistic states.
This dichotomy is further enhanced through the colour blue, which permeates the work. Blue creates space where receding and ephemeral qualities
contrast the harshness of the physical.
