Pain and I
Pain and I is in development and was due to be presented at Take Me Somewhere 2020, but is now delayed due to Covid-19.
I am trying to listen to you, get to know you, honour you, see what you have you have to say and let you take centre stage.
Pain and I is a meditative, playful and bold exploration into living with chronic pain. I have lived with chronic back pain for 18 years, and have largely related to my pain as a barrier to my life and work. For this performance I turn towards my pain as a creative collaborator, exploring it as an unwanted life partner and intimate companion. Through experimental movement and text, Pain and I acknowledges the hardships and celebrates the richness and complexities of chronic pain experience.
