Based on the archetype of the labyrinth and our galaxy's stardust in orbit; Stratagem is a play on perceptions where my objective is to "appear" invisible. A series of prolonged gestures provides the viewer with fragmented clues that narrate my attempt to dissolve into the environment and transition from a human to a thing.
strat-a-gem
(noun)
a clever ruse or scheme that is designed to outwit, trick, or deceive others to achieve a goal.
Stratagem was created during four days of in-studio experimentation at Theatre Junction's TJLAB#1 residency.
