No.oN is a performance that emerged from the recognition of a ‘no’. By refusing to grant the consent demanded of a performer: their notorious ‘availability’. But rather than exploring why we resist what oppresses us, or seeking an alternative to that oppression, Claire instead examines that resistance itself. No.oN is a project that explores the concept of ‘the body that says no’ in its poetic, physical and rhythmic manifestations.
