Nothing and All Happen at Once, 2025-2026
This was my first live performance. I explored the boundary between what is and is not perceived as performative by working with repetition, tempo, proximity and intonation. For example, I incorporated seemingly everyday actions, such as audible breathing in and out, into the performance. By magnifying such gestures and focusing attention on them, they take on a new layer of meaning. On the other hand, using three written texts, different clothes and body movements, I explored themes such as exhaustion, grief, identity and the influence of the external gaze. By bringing these different elements together in one space, I also immediately created a context for connecting with the audience and opening up space for dialogue.
Currently working on the video documentation of the performance. Get in touch if you want to know more.
