ARTISTIC POLICY
Anushiye Yarnell’s performance works create an alternative territory for the audience and performer to co-habit. She unfolds a dimension synergising fantasy and reality, reconstructing fragments from the realm of everyday life into existential, functional daydreaming. The frictional romance between choreographed and improvised movement generates a process of transformation, a kind of deliberate, accidental self-deconstruction. Her works draw on personal experience, past and future mythologies, notions of paradise and civilisation, dreams, and cultural diversity.

CURRENT PRODUCTIONS

An examination of the mysterious identities and interconnections of love, human and animal. Investigates Yarnell‘s emotional state when inhabiting an animal’s outer skin and layers that with her personal inner reflections of a love affair. Ambiguous in its exploration of female sexuality, treads a line between the sensuous and the absurd, reality and fantasy.
30 or 50 mins, no interval, 1 on stage, 1–2 on the road

Contrasts three forms of the beating heart, the beating of conflict, and the beating of a butterfly’s wings in flight. The piece explores the tension between embrace and violence, sex and love, attachment and freedom, and searches for a common source for these energies in the human heart.
33 mins, 1 on stage, 2 on the road
