Falling Woman – Performance Space
One woman's fight for survival in rural NSW.
Overview
Alice Osborne is determined to reclaim her identity. The performance artist is rebelling against the archetype of the 'fallen woman' — the woman who has sinned, the woman who has lost her innocence, and the woman who has betrayed society.
Combining video installation, theatre and text, Falling Woman paints a surreal portrait of survival and self-determination within the wide landscapes of rural NSW. For Osborne, the 'falling woman' is a woman who stands her ground and faces up to the obstacles thrown her way — in this case, under the watchful eye of the Witness, a strange figure in gold shoes.
As part of Performance Space's BURAWAN (Island) program, which aims to showcase the subterranean moments of Australian history, Falling Woman is the product of a collaboration between Osborne, performer Regina Heilman, director/writer Halcyon Macleod of My Darling Patricia and film artist Sam James.
