Sign Language
2010
promenade performance

Exploring the etiquette of communication: what we choose to share and what we try and hide through messages, intentional or otherwise. Over the course of a disrupted narrative, two actors switch between their roles as lovers and bathroom attendants. Examining the parallels between the rules of engagement in public and private places, Sign Language took place largely in the public toilets of Curve, Leicester.
