OVER/XPOSED

Across a 3-hour durational performance, the body undergoes a ritual of exhaustion through movement practices informed by years of ballet dancing. The masking of pain becomes challenged through revealing the muscles quivering in depletion, slowly giving in to the pressures and eventually falling through itself. The very process of deterioration of the ballet body is explicitly performed and enhanced as each of the 600 muscles of the corpus gradually re-work themselves, becoming numb to sensation.
