Occupational Hazard (2020)
Images - Alison Grace
Occupational Hazard is a 15 minutes dance-theatre sketch which attempts to examine those innocuous behaviours which are perhaps not so innocent. Easily escalating into something else; something unexpected, unwelcome and difficult to overcome.
Stemming from explorations into consent, sexual fantasies and objectification, Occupational Hazard is a journey that walks the fine line between suggestive and unsolicited. In the midst of the current feminist effervescence, thanks to movements such as #metoo, Occupational Hazard focuses on non verbal language - the way we sometimes use it and the interpretations that it can awaken.
A digital version of Occupational Hazard was recently selected for Flock Fest 2020.
Approximate running time - 15 minutes
Performed and Devised by Anna Cabré & Charlotte Arnold
