solo scripted performance | 2007

A simple action is broken up into separate stages: getting out of a chair, pouring and drinking a glass of wine, eating a handful of peanuts and sitting back down. Each position, such as leaning back in the chair or gripping its arms while leaning forward, is given a different name. Every definite movement becomes a discrete identity, each stage of the journey is given a name that the performer declares and can play backwards and forwards. A conversation takes place between the characters defined by their position. Like a strip of film where the illusion of continuous action is made up of a series of still images, the performer is put together and taken apart.
