Nudibranchs, also known as sea slugs or sea bunnies, are a group of soft-bodied hermaphrodite molluscs, of which there are around 3,000 species. They mate, breathe and eat in unique ways. This performative visualisation experience invites the audience to discover their inner nudibranch as a way of exploring an unconventional method of care. New perspectives on the body and identity are suggested by asking people to think and fantasise about inhabiting different kinds of bodies.
Participants are invited to bring a small comforting item from home, which will be referenced during the visualisation.
