​

Stunt Double pushes the limits of sameness and seeks to redefine the potential of the double, the ensemble, and the soloist. Evolving through choreographies of assemblage and dispersal, the work queers the borders between the individual and the collective and articulates a fluid, cyclical action of becoming. 

​

Who is the double?

(What does the double do?)
 

The Double is neither the self noe the other

The Double is a particular kind of commotion

The Double exists in neither space

Rhe Double says: I'm saying all of this to say

Says Nothing
The double neither in that the Double

Wants / does not want, does not end / is over 

In this way, the Double becomes entirely specific to itself

In that the Double verges on an event, 

In that the Double poses as a larger room, 

In which people come, or have left

Without any Log, 

The Log they keep of whp is where when

At what times 

​

At what times no​​
