Lindsay Bennett is a mature student currently undertaking her final year at The University of Central Lancashire studying Contemporary Theatre and Performance. Lindsay has a varied spectrum of performance diversity with a history in black light puppetry, burlesque, screen acting and magic.

 

Lindsay's live art performance 'Inverted Gray' was inspired by the Oscar Wilde novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, this installation presents a transposed interpretation of the performer, creating and maintaining a youthful deity of herself while the audience can witness the deterioration of the live performer. Incorporating ritual, repetition and voice to address the social gender politics in the rituals of women to preserve and project a personal ideal. "I cannot speak French, I cannot drink red wine, and I cannot paint without paint, this is an attempt to convince you I can".
