[Terror]tory

This performance is still at an incubating/exploratory phase. I am gathering and using concepts from the work of Deleuze and Guattari in an attempt to understand their work and this work.

[Terror]tory explores:

Clothing as representation of identity. As expression (revealing) and concealing (hiding/masking) identity.
Clothing as social and cultural construction of identity.
‘Filleting’ (removing the fabric of the garment from its structure [the seams]) clothing; an act of de-territorialisation.
Turning the fabric into yarn can be further de-territorialisation and re-territorialisation.
A ball of yarn as a body without organs.
Knitting the fabricated yarn and placing onto the body re-territorialises.
Knitting and knitting-circles as a rhizomic activity.
Performing all these activities live with others as a rhizomic activity.
Knitting as a method to integrate [knitting looks like brain/intestines].
The terror of procuring and maintaining territory.
