IFIF (Geneva), 2024, durational performance, 3 hours
IFIF is a secular, group ritual in the form of a game that employs chance, dance, and trance. It is one of many exercises that was born out of a methodology Mast began developing during the pandemic. Mast and her collaborators employ hypnosis, tantra, dom/sub dynamics, emotional attunement, physical movement, free writing, and theatrical techniques to invent consent and boundary frameworks that engage the subconscious and mine it as a tool for creation and transformation. It was workshopped with dancers in Geneva, Switzerland for one week and presented at the Studio ADC at the Maison des Arts du Grütli as part of the Dance First Thing Later Festival.
