Poster for Belfast International Festival of Performance Art 2017 at Ulster University, November 9-18, featuring a person holding a large, rectangular object in front of their face in a dimly lit room.

Solo performance made for the Belfast International Festival of Performance Art 2017 based on the Grimm version of the fairy tale Cinderella.

Basing your identity on your choice of footwear for the day, linking image with identity.

This performance included the reading of the story, removing layers and sharing off the cuff remarks received and overheard. 

Our self identity is influenced by our social interactions, events and conversations living within us, learning about ourselves as we are reflected in the eyes of others.
