A circle whispering dot (2019)

Performance 30 mins

With Patricia Langa, Sonya Frances Cullingford and Legion Seven

The performance ‘A circle whispering dot’ examines the relationship between voice, gesture and social norms, asking questions such as: How can we free ourselves from set definitions enforced by narrative power structures and use other forms of communication – such as abstract words, tone, gesture, movement, rhythm, resonance and repetition – in order to create meaning?

The movement and the voice form an embodied vocabulary, through which the three performers of the piece navigate fragmented exchanges. There is a continued transaction between articulate and inarticulate speech, which probes the edges of subjectivity.
