Performance of 'I feel like chicken tonight' from ;Outrageous Agers' - Rosy Martin and Kay Goodridge, Performer Rosy Martin, camera Kay Goodridge, edit Rosy Martin.
'Outrageous Agers' uses theoretical and performative strategies to analyse and contest the social and cultural constructions of the ageing body. Our approach is at times parodic, playful, confrontational, intellectual, vulnerable, transgressive, carnivalesque, tender: always engaging. Our art works confront stereotypes of the ageing woman, which currently leave little space for
negotiation and suggest decline, loss of sexuality and redundancy. The rhetoric of popular cultural representations, e.g. cosmetic advertising, reinforces these disavowals. Consequently, ageing is seen as aproblem to be overcome, hidden or denied.
What does it mean for a woman to inhabit an ageing, unstable body?
