(W/HOLE) Episode 7 – Download

An improvised duet leads to mouth inspections, which evolves into performers negotiating layered dynamics; finally, a soloist moves sculpturally in a jockstrap.

Special Guest and Trouble Clef simultaneously begin stream of conscious improvisations through gesture, words and memory. They each share fragments and jump quickly from one moment to the next, ending by staring into each other’s mouths. The mouth exploration continues as they are joined by Parts Authority, the Shape, Ginny Woolf, and Trouble Clef. The performers add layers of action and dynamic, each engaging another’s body in a different way. The scene then moves to Parts Authority, who begins trimming their pubic hair with an electric clipper while reciting a poem detailing a past relationship. They lie, sit, and move around the table in abstract positions in a jockstrap and rope binder.
