Facework/Body As Memoir

Two original works, presented in a joint performance 

A senior project in devised solo performance for David Donnan and choreography for Isabel Menon 

Advised by Dexter Singleton, Shilarna Stokes, and Emily Coates 

 

Facework and Body As Memoir are two pieces exploring different modes of presenting the self on stage. Body As Memoir investigates how our muscles archive lived experience, and how we can access our self-knowledge through movement. Through choreography, the show endeavors to carve a memoir into space rather than put it to paper. Facework combines the re-production of pop culture fragments and narrative to tell a story that, in content and form, reflects coming of age in the twenty-first century.
