“Domestic abuse isn’t always physical. Coercive control is an act or a pattern of acts of assault, threats, humiliation and intimidation or other abuse that is used to harm, punish, or frighten their victim.”

Persevere Exhibition and Residency at Custom House 2018

May 13, 2019 in Choreography Tasks

Using the research I have been doing into coercive control, I have devised practical tasks based around this theme in order to develop movement phrases.
