Making of an Animal 

(They are more afraid of you than you are of them)

​

We live with animals. We fear them, care for them, consume them, hunt them, and worship them. But what an unstable ground we have made. We need animals and yet we abuse them—not least to deny other people their humanity: You monkey, you snake, you dog.

Making of an Animal explores and blurs these uneasy boundaries of animalization, questions the consequences of relating others to animals while reflecting on our deeper human-animal ties. In Quindell Orton’s performance, three performers prowl over and dig up this terrain using movement, video, and live sound-dubbing to frame and reframe their bodies as something between human and animal in real-time.
