This work is highly visual and does not contain text.
Celebration Real Life <3 is an investigation on different approaches to healing. The search for something other, not of this body or world for personal guidance, strength and faith. The search for community, connection and pursuit of difference through spirituality, religion, magik and pain. Employing and accepting pain as a tool for healing, perspective and transcendence. Filmed in 360 the complete environment maintains and provides points of navigation and choice to the audience. The actions of making this performance relates personally to processing grief and the social and cultural wight of masculinity projected on the trans-masculine body. A crucifixion and a spell inquest of tranquility.
SHREK 666 is the embodiment of an ogre, a character birthed in 2018 designed and performed by Daemon Clelland. The practice of drama therapeutic performance combined with visual image making references monstrosity, post-humanism, medieval illuminations and science fiction through a process of queer world making. Situated between Spirituality and Parody, Transition and Eroticism, Benevolence and Confrontation, a showcase of performative power in rejection of realness. Clelland works between SFX and Latex Prosthetics, Performance, Moving Image, Costume Design and Sound.
