What gets your heart racing when you’re lying in bed?
 

This project is a residency with PVI Collective for the creative development of a solo performance work, Night Sweats. The work is a pastiche of writing, choreography, song and words by academics, creatives and pop culture icons. It is a meditation on things that keep us awake and tangential thought. During this 9-week residency I will be engaging with audiences, mentors and peers a well as spending time developing content and skills.

​

I have plans, but I also have no idea how this will turn out.

​

The trouble with trouble is that it starts out as fun.

​

I am afraid of silence

I am afraid of the dark

I am afraid to fall down

I am afraid of insomnia

I am afraid of emptiness

​

Is something missing?

Yes something is missing and always will be missing

The experience of emptiness

​

To miss

What are you missing?

Nothing. 

I am imperfect but I am lacking nothing.

Maybe something is missing but I do not know and therefore I do not suffer

​

Empty stomach empty house empty bottle

​

The falling into a vacuum signals the abandonment of the mother
