Nest – Anushiye Yarnell

Performed as part of Emergenc(i)es

6.30pm* - 9.00pm ‘Nest’ Anushiye Yarnell

The choreography of NEST has been accumulating over a period of 4 years since the early stages of my pregnancy with my daughter. It is a performance that shows life and art as the same. It is a piece about the function of love in ordinary life. The choreography took form as a settlement- a transformative relationship between my body, mind and memory. It examined in detail the repetition of forms that generated unique variables and deviations of meaning within the dance. This encompassed adaptations on the journey? through pregnancy to motherhood.

The work began to interrogate strands of survival and began to be a piece which related to everything around me. I began to translate the mythological female ability to multitask as an instinctive predisposition to reside within an inter-connective continuum. I began to unravel encounters with evolution and alternative creationist belief systems questioning news as a window to the world. How can I re-map my beliefs through relativistic perspectives- using real and imagined scenarios with my mother and family, negotiations with nature and civilization, the origins of sex, propositions of gender, interfaces with cars and strangers.

NEST examines the utilitarian aspects of fantasy, the fabric of humanity’s constructed reality, both of which are inter-dependent with our ability as human beings to fabricate and imaginary realms.
