"TWO IN A ROOM - TAKE ME AWAY" (PERFORMANCE ADVANTAGE)
premiere April 2017 (virtual) – LEGS Festival – Giswil, Switzerland
On going site-specific performance project in collaboration with Swiss visual artist and DJ Monica Germann. Performance Advantage explores the theme of the other/otherness/outsiders/normal/normative – how societies function by creating (arbitrary) definitions of norms in order to classify and create order out of the perceived chaos of life. Inspired by personal experience in “performing” outside the “norm” of heterosexual (fe)male presentation as well as the recent controversy of female professional athlete testerone levels, Performance Advantage utilizes popular club dance culture, storytelling and a choreographed movement score to restructure our modes of (self) presentation and move toward an honest embodiment of equality and inclusion.
