The Body Becomes The Eye is a performance installation speaking to the complex networks of trees and root systems in which we walk upon everyday. The roving performance consists of 5 dancers and initiates a conversation by visually interpreting how trees operate through empathic behaviours and deep listening. We need trees but also the trees need trees... What can we learn from these fellow sentient beings? It was originally made as a film 'When the Body Becomes the Eye' as my final work at VCA. I strongly see this piece explored 'off screen' and in a live performance / installation setting. The original film was carved out from a workshop based methodology. Through a series of practises like drawing, singing, walking and playing, a group of 6 women and I created a piece of choreography. There was a motive to find one simple gesture which mimicked a gesture in our immediate surroundings- we were situated under a family of banana trees on Bundjalung country. The concept spoken about in the book The Secret Life Of Trees by Peter Wohlleben was the fire starter to this work- the concept arguing that trees are sentient beings as they can experience empathy! If one tree is suffering /needs aid- like nutrients or minerals the older trees (typically) will respond and send sufficient aid to that tree. This research is also spoken about by Bob Brown in his new film Giants. Although these ideas have been understood by indigenous peoples for many years, this performance piece aims to visually exhibit through the medium of movement how the empathic relationship networking system works. The work aims to tap into the cyclical experience of a family of trees and to be a part of a conversation that has existed for 370 million years.
