In ‘slug’ I seek to transform the self; to metamorphosize through costume, movement, and character into a creature that expresses my long repressed yet painfully persistent rage. In order to achieve this transformation, I work with sensations of disgust and decay. I imagine my anger as a blistering rot, which through years of repression is leaking, boiling, and itching to crawl out. It feels harsh, ugly and cathartic, and I aspire for the work’s movement vocabulary to mirror these sensations. In the studio, I work with a somatic framework, questioning where my anger manifests and identifying its physical sensations. I question how these sensations can generate movements that alter my perception of my body and sense of self. The sound score is built by manipulating found sounds and recordings of my voice and body using Max MSP.

The showing will be followed by a short talk-back.
