​​​​

An exploration of the relationship between the body and steel. Using choreographic scores to manipulate steel, to see how it might perform scores. Then in response drawing on processes developed in the metal workshop, this performance investigates how the body might move as metal. By treating the material as both a collaborator and a performer, Heavy Metal examines how industrial processes can inform movement, better understanding the relationship between body and object. Developed as part of Honours research, this work extends choreographic practice into material-based inquiry, questioning how steel might move, yield, or resist within a performance framework.
