REPLACEMENT is the third performance/installation created by Sandra Parker and Rhian Hinkley for Sarah Scout Presents. In REPLACEMENT, Parker and Hinkley overlay mixed materials and performance to create a spatial intervention into the gallery’s rooms. Body and object are situated, layered and transposed to consider how we orientate ourselves and model our behaviour and gestures in response to the world around us.

Within this propositional environment, designed to determine and control responses, dancers conjoin with objects and the capacity of subjective human connection, in the face of limited choices, is called into question. 

How can we adapt to material forms and surfaces not of our choosing? What supports and frames us? What can be used to rest upon or to contain ourselves? Can there be a substitute for everyday comforts and social connections?
