Incipient Impediment
Janine Fletcher, aka Lady Inert, has an incipient impediment. In this solo performance she takes 30 minutes to flush out her habits, temper her anarchic voice and find a very (un) reasonable reason. Janine lives only through instruction, rules and regulations. This is her discipline disciple. It refines her skill, controls her beginnings, middles and ends, and controls her habits. It allows her to get up, get on and get out. But she has found a chink in her own armour, which allows her to enjoy this self-imposed nightmare: the habit of the reiterative rule.
Janine loves to refine the repeating rule, to articulate her dancing body, demonstrate the humour of her pros, control her inarticulate costume, fly her voice. Her rules are simple, (i) sustain suspension (ii) assault alignment (ii) ossify oscillation.
Janines work embraces dance, live art and film. She graduated from a Dance & Visual Art course at the University of Brighton and has presented work at the Visions and Brighton Festivals, generated short, sharp performance shocks at alternative venues like, Voodoo Vaudeville and Lost Vagueness and collaborated extensively with award winning filmmaker Nerea Martinez.
