​

My hips are not your invitation

"What shall I do to not catch your gaze or unhear your catcalling words? Shall I hide them with an oversize t-shirt or with a towel at the beach? Have their representation in the media or in traditional viewing of a womens body struck your fantasy reality of me walking down the street or you imagined I am provoking you when dancing freely in the club? This performance focuses mostly on hip movement and stories where the performance shifts between waves of celebration into repression into harassment through soundscapes by David Grech and playful objects as props."
