Billy (b. London, UK, they/she) works predominantly between performance and text.
Their work foregrounds the fictionality of the body and its splitness. The estrangement of established frameworks - linguistic, relational, narrative, erotic - is at its crux.
This twist pivots around language and gesture as conveyors of meaning, power and old tongues.
