„Show and Tell“ sets up an experiment that challenges the fragile relationship between what is said and what is done. Phil Hayes and Simone Aughterlony consider the supposed pecking order between these two modes of communication and establish a dialogical practice whereby sensing and sense making have equal status. What may initially seem like a forced separation is actually an invitation to the audience to experience two different kinds of attention. We encounter t he (his)story of a body and a body evoking (her)story. Phil and Simone do what they say, and they say what they do. This paradox is not redundant. It is a playful strategy. Starting from separate territories “Show and Tell” opens up a shared space for negotiation in which word and movement enter into a complex politics of interaction outside of habitual hierarchies.
