Laundry

Commissioned a new performance by Jill Orr.

Through movement and costume, Laundry reflects on notions of personhood and place 
to examine the potential of human agency 
and its capacity to exceed repetitious patterns of behaviour.

Orr’s performative gestures articulated acts of fortitude, fragility and restraint throughout a cycle of thirty-minute performances anchored by a fifteen metre long costume that spilled out of the venue to connect interior and exterior spaces.

Presented as part of Temporal Proximities in the South Laundry at Abbotsford Convent, Melbourne, 1 – 3 March 2019
