Exotica 1hour. Commissioned by CHAPTER with the support of the EUROPEAN UNION, Performed at Chapter Arts Centre April 05, April 06 and at Edinburgh Fringe Festival 06.				Exotica: based on the mythological phenomenon and encounters with female apparitions on the island of Naxos. They appear altogether human aprt from one animal/bestial detail... A claw, a cloven hoof, flecks of feathers and scales of skin. Those who meet them are rarely seen again. They are a doorway to another side.....of human.
Exotica explores the transformation of this body costume -
	which comes alive and dances inside out with see through open eyes, which project the body’s impossibility to dream in isolation. Through its' movements forms and memories disappear.
	The body costume reflects and consumes fragments of everyday life and our mythological histories, reforming and evolving itself into a hybrid being- the process of forgetting itself reveals a species of human, who is at once an existential and fantastical being.
	Exotica draws on fragments of European and migrated histories and mythologies and recompiles them into an abstract narrative- an edge of deserts and seas in which to imagine.
