Weeks & Whitford make complex autobiographical performances that sit within evolving installations, and feature soundscapes, and choreographies of inter related actions and improvisations in response to context, site and audience. Liveness is central to their work. The use of sound scores, materials, props and actions enables them to construct personal and shared processes of transition or transformation. They address specific issues and challenges around their experiences and identities, which become aestheticised as part of a highly personal, revelatory ongoing narrative. The work allows for Weeks & Whitford as two distinct people, two performers with different but overlapping languages and processes.
