WHITE NOISE + Oro

Alisha McLennan Marler + guests

WHITE NOISE turns the tables of perception onto the audience, drawing upon experiences from the intersection of motherhood, disability, and the relentless static of everyday expectations.

An electrifying performance, WHITE NOISE has emerged from award-winning creator/performer Alisha McLennan Marler’s lived experience of disability, as an artist, mother, and person. Through a fusion of striking visuals and choreography, live sound manipulation and digital design, audiences are invited to confront their assumptions while exploring the intimate and universal dynamics of communication and parenthood.

A powerful celebration of agency and narrative, this piece is both deeply personal and utterly communal, drawing us to consider our own place in the conversation. Co-choreographed by Jessie McCall, and presented with a short work from Touch Compass’ Oro: Resonance development programme.
