Thrashing Without Looking
'It provoked all sorts of thoughts about the modes of dismbodied communication with engage in now - televisual, internet - how trust and agency are still called upon and how intense and liberating is the sense of touch ... I didn't want to leave.'
Fiona McGregor RealTime
A 3am ride through loneliness, frenzy, banality and cliché. A performance you can watch, create, perform and control.
Thrashing Without Looking is an experiential work that combines performance with live cinema. It is a textured and disorienting journey that considers the agency of the audience in a mediated space.
