SYNOPSIS“BOUND” QUESTIONS HOW A PHYISCAL MANIFESTATION OF MENTAL RESTRICTION INFLUENCES ARTISTIC EXPRESSION AND AUDIENCE RECEPTION. A WEARABLE CAST OF THE PERFORMER’S TORSO WAS SUSPENDED IN THE WAVECAVE LEADING UP TO THE PERFORMANCE, ENVELOPED BY RECORDINGS OF THE PLAYER AND VIDEOS OF THE PLAYER IN THE CAST. IN PERFORMANCE, THE PLAYER WAS SEWN BACK INTO THE CAST AND FORCED TO PERFORM ONCE MORE. WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS OF CONSTRAINT ON ARTISTIC EXPRESSION AND EMOTIONAL AUTHENTICITY? HOW DOES THE AUDIENCE RESPOND WHEN THE PERFORMER’S MENTAL LIMITATIONS ARE NO LONGER HIDDEN?
