Game of Power | 2013
I was asked by the Subjectivity & Feminism Research Group (Chelsea College of Art and Design) to contribute a performance in reaction to a Laura Mulvey Text. In this text Mulvey talks about the repetition of gesture and the ability to make something so natural appear robotic (in specific reference to a performance by Marilyn Monroe). For my response I met with a Marilyn Monroe impersonator, and asked her to teach me the gestures she had practiced and perfected from the original Marilyn. These gestures were then used to instruct a male dancer, taken from a theatrical exercise by Augustus Boal, called 'Game of Power.'
