This Gritty Ground of Ours
FUCK
AAAAAHHH SHIT
OOOOOHHH FUCK NO
MMMMMMM YES YES YESSSSSSS NO
Taking influence from the work of Cindy Sherman and her ideas around female identity, we use our voices and bodies to celebrate our grittiness and find a sense of personal grounding. We embody the tropes of feminine constructs and identity through exhaustive repetition. Dancing, swearing, screaming, laughing, playing, supporting, sharing a space.
A performance exploring femininity and the theatricality of gendered performance. This performance was followed by a performance makers workshop which explored intuition-led styles of performance making.
Performed at Embassy Gallery's 'Bless Your Heart' Exhibition (Edinburgh, 2019)
