[Listen with headphones/speakers, as audio is sensitive]
A Navigation investigates personal journeys and perceptions of age, sexual identity, anxiety and desire, exploring the role and place of intimacy in all its manifestations; non-physical, social, intellectual and emotional.
Davies has worked collaboratively with groups of female performers to explore how women’s bodies can negotiate multiple histories, disrupt power structures and form relationships of solidarity. The film is shaped by its performers’ reflections on ageist assumptions; through movements that consider the evolution of how one occupies space in society, the power of the individual’s presence and how they can deconstruct or shift perceptions.
A Navigation is currently showing at DKUK salon in Peckham.
