Deer Dancer is a cross-artform project investigating deer mimesis, specifically, representations within dance from across cultures. The work examines how the imitation of deer behaviour constructs ‘wilderness’ as the site for the cultivation of hetero-masculinity and how hunting mythologies shape and impact real ecologies.
Premiering at Edinburgh Art Festival 2019, Deer Dancer was presented as a two-channel film and sound installation featuring music and costumed choreography, alongside the costumes and series of visual score print works.
