ARTIST STATEMENT
Working in performance, film and multimedia we integrate a range of disciplines into performance practice through individual experimentation and open-source collaboration. We research embodied concepts of race, gender and sexuality exploring people's allegiances and emotional investments in activities of narration, difference and positioning. Working with contingency we stage open-ended performances and create evocative and exciting worlds that reject the idea of the passive spectator and give participants the space to act out their own experiences.
