2 female bodies – attempt to address the preconceptions of the limits of our human form and challenge our learned behaviour and actions toward everyday domestic objects.

Past work ‘239 fall’, usually performed as a durational work, is a clash of visual languages in a live performance environment. Focusing on the performers bodies and their relationship to the objects in a space, they install an experiment, break and create moments of fragility and react to both audience and one another in silence. Through actions, words are typed and not heard.
Reading the objects in the space, we look at the meanings we attach to eggs. Birth, nurturing a new life, fragility, destruction, the female body as both sign and signifier, menstruation, monthly cycles, medical science, artificial insemination, fertility, IVF, control, contraception, fertilisation, termination.
First performed at Tramway Theatre, Glasgow in February 2007 as part of the New Territories Winter School Programme, the performance rests on anticipation, waiting for a chance to change the landscape.

This performance collaboration and relationship is under continued development.
