The Eagle Document was an ongoing research project now consisting of various manifestations. Stage one The Eagle Document – Live Performance, took place at the James Hockey and Foyer Galleries on September 14th 2007. Combining modern dance, performance art and falconry display, the live performance was choreographed to sound tracks by the experimental band Bender.

The Eagle Performance - Document is a two-channel video installation which consists of the recording of the live performance filmed for the full duration with two cameras from different vantage points. The two channel installation challenges the traditional form of the document. The juxtaposition of two different views of the same action disables singular vision hence draws attention to the act of viewing as actively constructed by the viewer.
