W RK S (PERFORMANCE) 2024
FIXED DELVES INTO THEMES OF FORCED MARRIAGE, GENDER ROLES, AND THE OBJECTIFICATION OF WOMEN. HOW DOES SOCIETY'S IDEALISATION OF MARRIAGE AND MOTHERHOOD TRAP WOMEN IN PASSIVE, OBJECTIFIED ROLES? CAN WOMEN FIND THEIR IDENTITY BEYOND THESE IMPOSED EXPECTATIONS IN A CULTURE WHERE TRADITION OFTEN OUTWEIGHS INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM?
THIS COSTUME REFLECTS HOW SOCIETAL NORMS CONTROL AND CONFINE WOMEN’S BODIES. HOW CAN PERFORMANCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND FEMINIST CRITIQUE BE USED TO CHALLENGE THESE DEEPLY INGRAINED CULTURAL ASSUMPTIONS AND GIVE VOICE TO WOMEN'S OFTEN-SILENCED EXPERIENCES?
DIRECTOR, COSTUME DESIGNER AND PERFORMER
THE SITE-SPECIFIC, GROUP-DEVISED PERFORMANCE FOR THE AURALITY UNIT AT THE TIN TABERNACLE IN KILBURN CENTRED ON THE ACOUSTIC HISTORY OF A SPACE WITH NUMEROUS FUNCTIONAL TRANSFORMATIONS. BY INTEGRATING RECORDED SOUNDS FROM THE BUILDING’S MATERIALS WITH COLLABORATIVE GAELIC PSALM SINGING, THE PERFORMANCE SOUGHT TO EVOKE A LAYERED SONIC EXPERIENCE, BLENDING PAST AND PRESENT.
