BLOOM + VENUS/FREAK
‘bloom’ is a solo study that draws from Tan's creative practice and research on the philosophy of image and gaze on the feminised performing body. ’bloom’ was developed at the first Cross-Pollination Group Creative Lab residency at Siobhan Davies Dance Studio in Fall 2019 in London, UK, with funding support from the National Lottery Community Fund.
'Venus/FREAK' is a video sketch that evolves 'bloom' for the screen, and further interrogates John Berger's analysis of nudity and nakedness ('Ways of Seeing,' 1972). 'Venus/FREAK' was developed in a virtual creative lab series directed by Tan using the Cross Pollination Group methodology in July-September 2020 and June 2022.
