Confinements of my Skin.
The Glue Factory, Glasgow, 2017
This was a Butoh performance influenced by my experience living in Kyoto, Japan. Exploring tensions and compressions within the body and considering the idea of extention beyond the skin and alternatively being confined to the boundaries of the skin.
'Before IZEN'
Film
Shown in The Glue Factory Glasgow and as part of 'BODS' The Safe House 1, Peckham, London 2017
Filmed in Kyoto, Japan as a collaborative project with contemporary dancer Akinori Sembe. This was an exploration of the contemporary and Butoh dance forms considering the idea of what we are before conception. Before we are compressed into a body, what are we? The piece was filmed in a active tunnel that ran under a mountain.
