What is performance?
For me this question is a daily meditation and motivating
force behind my work. My current practice is to place
my body in relation to time and environment. I am female,
so the main source of my research stems from the perception
and experience of this female body. I am interested in
how my body reveals and learns from ancestry – how
it explores and relates to environment and nature –
and how it strives to evolve. I examine the individual
body as a lens to view a greater experience.
Long durations interest me as I aim to expose what lies
beneath my own ideas and control of a performance. In
my recent work I set up situations that visibly show the
deterioration of the definitive. To begin with, I focus
the work by setting clear parameters. I devise a score
of movements – and then I repeat these until fatigue
begins to sculpt the work – and gradually the most
necessary skeleton of expression remains. It is here that
for me the most interesting journey begins. It is an archetypal
expression I seek. My body speaking for all bodies. Performance
speaking of mythology. If I am lucky, I touch this depth.
This is what I strive for.
