DS+R


BE YOUR SELF
PERFORMANCE: ADELAIDE FESTIVAL, AUSTRALIA, 2010

This dance piece, in collaboration with Garry Stewart and the Australian Dance Theatre, investigates the concept of self by re-presenting conventions we use to convince ourselves of a singular ‘I’. Dance, spoken text, video graphics and architecture are used to collapse the underpinnings of who we think we are by reframing the relationship between ‘I,’ and our physical, mechanical bodies. As part of this inquiry, DS+R designed a white fabric covered wall that moves from upstage to down, out of which body parts emerge and interact and moving images are projected.
