I Am (Not) This Body

  • The Arts House 521 Queensberry Street North Melbourne, VIC, 3051 Australia (map)

A memoir and exploration of being under four foot in a six foot world shared through movement, film and installation.

The disabled body has historically been defined by the gaze of others. From the medical gaze to the stranger’s stare, perceptions of bodies with disabilities raise issues of autonomy and consent.

Leisa Prowd’s I Am (Not) This Body is a cross-disciplinary exploration of her relationship with her own body in a world not made for it, and an invitation to experience life as she does.

Through film, spoken word, dance, projection and sculptures, Leisa finds alternative ways to reclaim body autonomy and represent difference.

Culminating in a solo live performance, I Am (Not) This Body is a rich and engaging exploration into compelling territory.
