Labour
Parts+Labour
Presented by DanceWorks
LABOUR is a creation that embraces a minimalist and repetitive physicality. Raw, sweaty, visceral, and absurd, it rejects aesthetic politeness and imagines a shared power, both intimate and collective, rooted in a plurality of femme perspectives. The piece puts at the forefront womxn’s labour and the radical forces that build, sustain, reimagine and transform. Through unstable and yet simple rhythms, it turns the body into a site of metamorphosis, confronting today’s fragmented realities with gestures of resistance, care, and collective, celebratory force.
