Dominique’s approach in her art practice both in solo and collaborative work, takes her performances outside of theatres and into installations, site-specific pieces, community-based arts events and durational actions. She creates powerful images that disturb accepted structures of society and identity and explore the gaps in between, seeking to address the oscillations of the contemporary psyche.
The primacy of the body and its’ connection to the space and environment recurs within her work and draws inspiration from Japanese Butoh’s ideology of ‘body material’. Recent nomadic journeys have been a conscious attempt to become aware of the social and cultural influences of place in particular the space of the urban environment and have led into live art actions, and the ‘Black Series’ of performance art walks in cities.
