Bean ~ O
Prior to the performance Bean will be following the training regime devised during her work in 2009. The programme originally focused on swimming and gym training and how the discipline of technique and habit allow the body to fall into remembered movement. This repetition and cyclical actions of the body seem to accelerate the movement of thoughts and creative process.
In returning to this regime Bean will address the memory held in the body (scars, marks, building and loss of muscle and fat and identity associated with this) and the work that came out of this period (the text, mantras, actions and materials).
Bean will also return to materials of salt water, urine and Navy Strength Plymouth gin. She is interested in the multiple meanings and use of materials and how each material holds a history.
The silence of remembrance allows us the time and space to articulate in actions the complexity of what has been before.
