dis-locate is a live performance that celebrates the transitory, the ever shifting, and explores the idea of dis-location as an empowered and disruptive state. Helena Hunter presents a glorious disincarnation through a series of charged interactions between the body, light, sound and materials. dis-locate questions the limits of fixity and considers ‘in-between’ as a positive condition that flows rather than defines, opens rather than restricts. The performance explores a process of disintegration and confronts the impossibility of making a journey while remaining whole.
dis-locate was developed during Helena Hunter’s residency at Queen Mary, University of London and was supported by Arts Council England. The performance premiered at Chelsea Theatre as part of the Sacred Season 2009, this first presentation of the work was produced by Natasha Davis. dis-locate was selected for the UKYA Event 2010, a showcase of exceptional talent from all art forms across the UK, and was presented at Déda the dance house of the East Midlands in Oct 2010. dis-locate was performed at Jerome Zodo Contemporary, Milan, in March 2011 as part of Hunter’s solo exhibition Displacements. The work features original sound by Mark Peter Wright, Sonic Arts, British Composer of The Year 2009.
