PERFORMERS & THEIR PERFORMANCES
MEGAN MACKAY – INVERSE EROTICA points out the absurdity of assigning roles to costume through fantasy. MacKay adopts the moves of an erotic dancer who puts on clothing until she has become a sexless, amorphous blob of fabric.
WHITEFEATHER – FIXATION STATION explores obsessive bodily engagement in the form of oral fixation. WhiteFeather’s performance involves lipstick, watercolour paper and sunflower seeds in the shell.
JOE BLADES – BLUE BRAINS will be a word association performance based on the idea of academic intellectual congestion and notions of attraction and the uncomfortable.
SHAUN BARTONE & CYNTHIA RYDER – TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT: an exploration of sexual repression. Under a picture of the Queen, Cynthia and Shaun will sip tea while reading passages from banned books. Simultaneously screening in the adjacent window will be the video Slut: A Drama in One Word alternating with found films of tea services from around the world.
CYNTHIA RYDER – FOOT WORSHIP. A study of our obsession with brand, style, and the appeal of the shoe, Cynthia will be crafting an altar from her 60+ pairs of shoes and boots.
AMANDA JARDINE – DECOLUMNIZATION will explore the expected disconnect between theory and sexuality in the academic community by using live creative nonfiction writing (in column form) to bridge this gap.
JO GRIFFITH – ARTEFACTS/X-COLONEL WILLIAMS. The police interrogation of Colonel Williams plays continuously while endless nonsensical flow charts are made to document the absence of reason for the crimes.
CANDACE MOOERS – LESSONS IN LOYALTY/CONFESSIONS will be the reading of a S&M script without following any of the emotional cues for audio performance, using a voice mixer and homemade radio transmitter.
