Description: | Sighted is formed of two works performed as individual pieces or together. When presented simultaneously, they are partnered both in their similarities and in their oppositions. However each is experienced as a unified and singular world. Sighted plays with what is seen and on view in relation to the sightlessness of either the performer or the viewer. The purpose of this project is to play creatively with the notion of a replicated space and performance whose existence is intimately linked to the first but appears to act in opposition. These are myriad worlds inviting scrutiny, falsifying identity and reality and a sense of virtual touch. As with previous dance performance works the audience’s attention is drawn to an acute awareness of place and the present moment, a feeling of uncertainty, participation, duality and wonder. There is a play with the balance between a sense of isolation and a sense of community, sound and silence, movement and stillness. Sighted invites sensitivity to temperature, touch, breath, physical adjustments, shifting focus, and the texture of materials. |
