About Gimp Gait (2016)
This "solo for two" captures a raw, site-specific exploration of interdependence. Operating without the aid of a power wheelchair, the two performers renegotiate balance, rhythm, and weight through strict physical labor and deep trust. The camera functions as both a witness and participant, framing micro-adjustments, missteps, and voice-over instruction as pure choreographic material. By directly confronting the viewer's gaze, Gimp Gait reclaims a historical slur to showcase a fiercely honest display of individual power.
