ecdysis is a solo project in development and part of a series of solos excavating lineage, embodiment and dreams amidst onrushing climate catastrophe. This research is feminine, feminist, interdisciplinary and inspired by the act and process of shedding - internal, external, decolonial and archival. Studying adaptation as an experimental, theoretical and intuitive practice, this project asks – ‘what do we let go of’ and ‘what do we dream for’ at the end of the world? ecdysis is the second in a series of solos marion is making exploring the nature of being alive and embodied while the world falls apart. [ecdysis (noun): the process where an animal sheds its outer layer, called the cuticle or exoskeleton, to allow for growth, renewal and development.] Sound by MANAS (Tashi Dorji + Thom Nguyen) & marion spencer, with projection, performance and choreography by marion spencer.
