In A Becoming, join the art of unfolding what it means to be in our world in this double-bill dance work, consisting of don't cry a snail trail baby by Jasmine Reynolds, and Caring, Queering by Lily-Mae Solhee Baird. Collectively we explore queer time/liveness, intuition/memory, care and expectation.
Jasmine's work is an exploration of safety, disassociation, and the lines between spectating and participating. Reflecting on what blissful ignorance means, and questioning the dance of a social landscape that prioritises capitalist conformity over attuned being, it is contemplative, rich and unexpected.
Lily-Mae's work asks where do we end and the mask begins? How can we queer expectations of performance, of ourselves? Letting time unfold and teach, this piece tenderly explores barriers to connection, and embodies a bold breaking-free.
All of our work sits mindfully in reflection on our short human existence, inspired by the natural world’s cyclical, sustainable unselfishness. Inspired by becoming, unbecoming and becoming again. A Becoming centres itself on being/held as we are. Eternally in-progress.
