uR is the culmination of Illka Louw's research, completed during a two year Masters' program in Theatre and Performance Studies at UCT. Illka aims to deepen her understanding of her practice as theatre designer, scenographer and visual dramaturge in a post-dramatic milieu. Originally a costume designer, Illka's first love lies with her tactile and imaginative interaction with the materials of her craft. For Illka, this visceral relationship with the properties and qualities of materials such as cloth, paper and ink extends beyond the designer's act of drawing, through the performance space and towards the imagination of the spectator. uR is a performance piece which seeks the scenographic link between materials, bodies, space and time, where words are not always necessary and visions of rapture might occur.Videos
