The exposed body // The enduring body // The displaced body // The restricted body
The Failure Project is a collaborative, semi-improvisational performance piece examining notions of failure within the performing body – in what ways can failure manifest itself through the performing body, how can the presence or threat of failure be dealt with by performers, and what dynamics and qualities can it bring to physical performance?

In/scissions, aurally, incision, a cut in the skin or the flesh, moment of acute perception that draws focus to internal workings, where/when there is no referent, no ‘other’ time or place but here. In-scission, the non-word read graphically, in-to separation, division, or splitting, as in fission, what makes each one one, always singular and particular, critically this and not another.
