Permanence
In 2010 Samara Hersch and choreographer Gabby Rose worked with Access Inc. (a not for profit organisation that supports young adults with perceived intellectual disabilities).
Together with a team of artists we explored Peter Carey’s Short Story ‘Do You Love Me?’ – a quirky and haunting tale about the politics of recognition. Through this investigation we created Permanence.
