Trail Mix is a work in progress that is influenced by the desire to heal our inner child while using train tracks to explore transitions, and ways to transport and transform. Building, rebuilding, deconstructing, and repeating. Following pathways that are laid out for us, and being redirected by new pathways, causing interruptions and turbulence. Exploring the confines of structure in both the tracks and our bodies, and finding fluidity, adaptability, and change within it. Through exploring what it means to embody a “train” body and a “track” body, we will become our own trains and tracks on our own journeys built for nobody but ourselves. By breaking societal and gender constructs, we break free from the track that somebody else has built for us.
For on the Floor is an immersive dance/theatre experience that centres the transfer of memory and experience through the transformative properties of vintage clothing both inanimate or…otherwise. Spectator/performer lines are blurred as audience and cast alike embark on their own transformations navigating the cartoonish and the corporeal.
