Control / Escape: A conversation with dancer and choreographer Shelley LasicaHow and what do you present to an audience? Where does the line between yourself and your work begin?Tai and Shelley discuss the assumptions about ‘revealing the truth’ in dance and how creating complexity and a kind of ‘unhooked narrative’ that is not linear or logocentric might be a more exciting way of looking at things.
