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 ā€˜Iā€™. Dance, spoken text, video graphics and architecture are used to collapse the underpinnings of who we think we are by reframing the relationship between ā€˜I,ā€™ 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.
