You have a secret.
Something no one else knows.
I know you do.
You can tell me.
I'll keep it safe.
I promise.
The Secret Skin invites you to relieve yourself of the heavy burden it knows you bare.
You will be alone, in a room. Alone with your thoughts, alone with your feelings, alone with the secret skin of another person. They will sit in silence, blindfolded, coaxing you to write your darkest secret upon their skin.
This intimate four minute performance piece depends on the audiences bravery and honesty. At the moment The Secret Skin is a phase in a larger body of work we want to begin creating.
The idea of someone harbouring something that is non-material but potentially destructive and/or life changing fascinates us.
"We dance round in a ring and suppose, while the secret sits in the middle and knows"
Robert Frost
For The Secret Skin to work we need you. Your not just a voyeur, but an active participant in an ongoing creative experiment!
NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW YOUR SECRET. NOT EVEN THE PERSON YOU WRITE IT ON.
