Performance One May 2015- My son is 5 months old. I needed to research and journal my experiences of Motherhood. As a way to cope with this new way of being me. Of feeling afloat and that I was surviving. By observing motherhood in this way was a very helpful copying strategy. I could be present but also witness actions, interactions and playful moments between myself, my son and the general public. I decided to go public as a way to feel heard and somehow supported by sharing my story and struggle so far. |

Performance Two November 2015- My son is 9 months old. Structured improvisation performance including different dances in different parts of the building. I wanted to explore my son's way of exploring the world and the physical space around him and see if I could structure a dance around this. I gave myself a set of 'rules'. I selected sections from the stage piece and would perform them depending on where my son chose to go. |
The Cut Halesworth
Performance Three November 2015- My son is 9 months old As part of Moving Arts East dance event, I performed a new version of the piece involving disco dances in a bag. A re-working of the original piece but with new sections. I want this piece to evolve as our relationship does. I am always looking at what is happening now, what is relevant. |
