DESCRIPTION: We have all internalized an external voice that sometimes speaks louder than our intentions, telling us what to do, who to be and how to behave. With an outside eye, we constantly survey the way we present ourselves, masking our identities and putting on a performance for our perceived audience. Beneath the Gaze has been devised through improvisational inquiries into the physical embodiment of emotions, and how characters emerge out of uninhibited emotional expression. What happens if we surrender to our emotions and deviate from society\’s behavioural expectations? How does the community welcome this disturbance? How do we embrace change or reinforce these patterns within our community?
