Intimidation Task

“Domestic abuse isn’t always physical. Coercive control is an act or a pattern of acts of assault, threats, humiliation and intimidation or other abuse that is used to harm, punish, or frighten their victim.”

Hip Hop Theatre Work Investigating Coercive Control

June 29, 2019 in Second Guessing

I am currently researching and developing a new high-quality Hip Hop dance theatre work exploring the theme of coercive control, Second Guessing.

Persevere Exhibition and Residency at Custom House 2018

May 13, 2019 in Choreography Tasks

This residency was the first opportunity I had to practically explore the theoretical ideas I have been developing for my next piece of work, a solo Hip Hop dance theatre performance dealing with the theme of coercive control. Using the research I have been doing into coercive control, I have devised practical tasks based around this theme in order to develop movement phrases.
