1. About the project

Development & Debut of I think it was a feeling, an ACE funded live art/sound art based piece to be experienced at home. It’s a recorded headphone piece exploring bodily fluids, invisible disability and the imaginative processes you use as coping mechanisms when you’re stuck at home, alone and sick. 

Commissioned by Submerge Festival, dates for performances are pending at the festival as well as on their online channels. There will also be 5 workshops at King's College for raising awareness of crip & queer theory in research & performance practices. 

Audience: A strong focus on intersectional disabled and queer communities for more meaningful awareness of invisible disabilities, creating parallel experiences to stimulate a physical, authentic experience of a body that exists differently. Liberating folx with these experiences that traditionally disempower us to connect with others across live/digital platforms as an invitation to be intimate with their bodies for the first time.
