Can you be my Coach?, Eleni Tomadaki, live interactive performance (2 hours), Disorders Vol.2 Exhibition, Studio 9294, London, February 2019

Can You Be My Coach? is a long durational interactive performance in which I am training in front of an empty chair inviting the audience to grab the seat and become my coach. The coach takes control of my training whilst I am trying to obey to their commands. Drawing upon the shifting power dynamics between the athlete and the coach, the performance studies one's relationship to the Other and/or the absent Other.
