These performance-based works were made in conjunction with a practice-based PhD titled Playing with (my)Self: Reconfiguring 21st Century Performance Art as an Emerging Encounter amongst the Becoming-Stage, the Becoming-Actor, and the Becoming-Audience. They include video works and digital photographs.
