Sheep Pattern Democracy

A participatory Lecture and Performance, (Dartington, UK 2008)

Imagine you walk into a field with sheep.

Instantaneous all Sheep turn around and stare at you.

They think as an entity, gather and blead: “beaahhh”

What does it feel like to be human –now?

The participatory lecture makes links between the herding behaviour of sheep and the structure of democracy. The following performance deals with embodying, reproducing and failing being Animal. When the performer shifts in and out of Sheepness Humanness needs to be redifined.

In collaboration with Christine Borch
