Rehearsed pRACTICE

Rehearsed Practice was a live performance piece. Documentation of Performance, featuring: Dave Layde, Darina Gallagher, Naomi Sex.

The Performance Art Institute, San Francisco, featuring; Mark McManus, Stacey Kreiger and Naomi Sex.

I collaborated with trained actors to attempt to construct and separate my artistic persona and enact the structural hierarchies within a constantly shifting and dynamic artistic field.  The performance employed synched movements and repeated actions with dialogue. In the piece, I become perform alongside trained actors, testing my own rehearsed performative skills in front of a live, evaluating audience. My own 'amateur' status coupled with the evaluation of talent are two key points of reference contained within the content of the lecture itself.

Performed at The  ARTICULULATE symposium on artistic research that I co-organised with Sinead McCann and Alison Pilkington, University College Dublin, Newman House, Dublin. 

Performed at The NSU (Nordic Summer University), Falsterbo educational centre, Sweden.
