The performance by Amie-Blaire Chartier & Erin O’Reilly, “In the waves I feel like I am a part of something,” marks their first collaborative work, exploring the unique role of the performer. Like a chameleon or shapeshifter, the performer navigates between initiation and execution, constantly adapting to resonate with others’ truths from predefined starting points.

This sensory and emotional exploration questions what the performer develops while traversing various universes and how she reclaims her artistic identity. It addresses the performer’s existential crisis: what does it mean to serve the visions of others, and how does it impact her own journey and unfulfilled desires?
