Weathering
Weathering (working title) is a multidisciplinary performance work in development in 2026 and builds on an ongoing curiosity around existence as process above matter/form. The piece explores themes of weathering, and how internal and external landscapes are shaped slowly and sometimes imperceptibly over time. The work asks what it means to evolve and grow at a time of climate collapse and the slow persistent weathering effects from manmade systems of corrosion and power. It explores how small daily rituals of care can become restorative acts of connection and hope; and how we can self-identify as process as well as form.Choreography explores accumulation & repetition, slow and sudden shifts; and is working with layers of material, handheld lights and projection to explore external form and internal (sometimes hidden) processes. The use of emergency foil blankets as the primary material alongside handheld torches enables the movement to shift between exterior, crystalline, apparently solid form; and translucent surface revealing movement within / behind. As a prop the blankets also reference human displacement and our need for shelter and a sense of home, self and permanent form.
