This research-creation collaboration between dance, theatre, sound, media, and film artists began as a hybrid work of lecture-performance that uses language, movement, and sound to explore notions of normal self-expression in everyday life. The work was funded by a SSHRC Institutional Grant from Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµand work-in-progress showings took place at Concordia University’s SenseLab in October 2018 and Vancouver’s Left of Main in February 2019. Most recently, with the aid of another successful Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµgrant, we have turned the work into a short film, a version of which was shown as a dual projection installation at the Experiments in Art and Ethnography Symposium held as part of the American Anthropological Association/Canadian Anthropological Society conference in November 2019.
