Site-specific live performance and short film

This two-part collaborative project explored the social, geographical and political landscapes of the Scottish city of Glasgow through live performance and a short film of the performance made in collaboration with Daniel Cook. Alluding to the division between public and private spaces, social surveillance and access, performance and film pushed performers’ bodies through extremes of automation and recklessness.
