The project Performing the Transformative is an installation of studio outcomes completed in fulfilment of the requirements of Athene Currie's degree of Doctor of Philosophy.

The primary vehicle in the expression of this research is rites of passage as a means of transformation and to express positive concepts of menopause through commonality and celebration.

Engagement with masque, masquerade, and performativity has informed the outcomes of this research. The artists body is utilised to convey processes of ritual that attempt to reconnect to sense of self through a series of videos and live performances that actively contemplate and represent change in identity at menopause.
