Under My Skin

Next Wave Festival, Arts House, Melbourne 2016

Dancehouse, 2014

Under My Skin is a piece that touches on some of the ways in which we choose to interact with the world around us. In a quest to understand the things that define us as we search for a place where we feel we belong, examining our ‘layers’ has been an underlying impetus for this work. Humans are complex creatures and, underneath everything, essentially vulnerable. We often protect ourselves by masking or hiding from a world that is constantly asking us to validate ourselves. Our need to label, protect, disguise or reveal ourselves has been an intrinsic question in the work.

Dance, multimedia and sound have been the primary creative tools, bringing together two worlds – hearing and deaf – both as creators and audiences. The intense vocabulary of Lina Limosani’s choreography, coupled with Jo Dunbar’s direction and balanced by the collaborating creative team visually and sonically, aims to present a compelling and dynamic piece of dance that will hopefully encourage you to ponder on your own thoughts about identity.

Layered and revealing, Under My Skin challenges what it is to listen, and to be heard...
