All this week on the Wire we’ll be bringing you Stories from the Stage – performance artists who take on the issues of our time. Today we hear from award winning slam poet Alison Bennett who, in her stage persona Alison Paradoxx, has been presenting the performance ‘Floral Peroxide’ at the Adelaide Fringe.
Alison uses poetry, film, electronic soundscapes, movement, and visual art. to explores the paradoxes of her own disability, and the societal desire to ‘fix’ the broken self.
