Floor play explores employment as a state of consciousness, looking at job roles influence on our bodies and how we interact roles given to us in unfamiliar environment. This work aims to examine the movement of the performers and audience in the space with a constant shift of viewpoint, how are we perceived in a space that does not hold us?
Here the artist employed two performers with backgrounds in movement, dance and theatre both also having previous worked in a cleaning job role to work for one hour both paid a one hour national living wage.
Looking at how an everyday sweeping brush becomes a performance prop and a cleaner becomes a performer based on the space its being 'performed in' this work draws attention to the influence a space has on the way we view an everyday role and its influence on how we interact with physical space and how as conscious beings we can tap into roles regardless to if the space is a usual facilitator of the roles performed.
