Watch out… for the female gaze
Chiara Bersani, Silvia Gribaudi, Masako Matsushita and Francesca Foscarini give female perspectives on seeing and being seen
Being female – what considerations does this bring to the interplay between seeing, showing, performing and witnessing? What are its erotics, and who commands them? Chiara Bersani, Silvia Gribaudi, Masako Matsushita and Francesca Foscarini – and some of their collaborators – explore these questions from their standpoints as dance artists and performers.
