About
Deer Dancer investigates the mimesis of deer, specifically representations within dance from across cultures. The work examines how the imitation of deer behaviour constructs an idea of wilderness as the site for the cultivation of hetero-masculinity and how hunting mythologies shape and impact real ecologies. Deer Dancer is an explicit, contemporary, life-crisis ritual for a damaged planet.
