I Look You In The Eye
A series of one-to-one’s lasting one hour in a private alcove of the 30th floor. Against the backdrop of an urban sky rise overlooking the docklands, Q invites strangers to sit with her for 5-10 minutes in silence and reflection.
A private exchange of the gaze is gently held between the elusive character, Q, and a stranger. The performance explores the disturbances between self and other and asks: what do we see when we look at one another? What is constructed, what is make-believe, and what can we leave behind?
The performances, I Look You In The Eye, have travelled to the Royal Suite of the Royal Festival Hall and Vogue Fabrics, a working sewing studio in the East End, London. Each performance is specific to the site and participants are invited to mark the exchange with Q by contributing to her own construction.
