Sinkhole
2018–22
Sinkholes have been used for centuries as disposal sites for various forms of waste. When they are very deep and connected to caves they offer challenging experiences for humans to navigate.
Sinkhole deals with improvised scenarios and the agency of it’s performing body through responding from a text-based score. Each performance sits within a state of determinacy, that is contingent upon the navigation within unknown territories. Through this process the potential limits posed within temporal and spatial thresholds are stretched. When working as a multiplicitous system, the negotiation of difference often results in a structural collapse as new choreography continues to expand on a cyclical loop.
