Awkward Moments Series IV explores the perceptual phenomenon of the neurological dysfunction Kinetic Synaesthesia. Mixing audiovisual content to trigger the dancers’ performances, questions into the relationship between the body and the mind were raised to explore the concept of ‘muscle memory’ and thus the extent of our awareness of our own movement. Traveling through the six chapters of a life cycle - Genesis, Blossom, Maturity, Decline, Death and Revival, the performance was imagined and created by Mimi Xu in collaboration with Lindsay Kemp featuring Renée Stewart, Waddah Sinada and Lily McMenamy, and made into a short film.
