Pain and I

Pain and I is a bold exploration into chronic pain, unashamedly celebrating its rich complexities. Layering playful choreography, experimental dance, intimate autobiographical text and original classical music composition by Alicia Jane Turner, Hopfinger asks: 'What can pain teach us?' in this powerful, honest, and compelling solo performance.

A diversely accessible body of work, Pain and I can also be experienced as an audio piece, a graphic score (designed by Michaela Pointon & Rachel O'Neill), and a new installation (designed by Rachel O'Neill).

Pain and I was awarded the FQD Choreographic Work and Indoor Performance/International Prize in Montreal, Canada.
