The Shell marks the beginning where I explore more about the relationship between the character and the performer. Thinking less about fixed characters, or methodologies that rely on spectacle. But more so about this constant shifting and changing. I want to make something also more comfortable to wear as well. As that helps to connect and open during the performance.
