Should I Be in My Bodi?
Tim Jeeves
(United Kingdom)

Cancer is one of the few words in the English language that has the power to offend, the power to catch attention, the power to terrify – and the use of these words in this piece in relation to Tim Jeeves’ history with the disease tries to capture some of that power.

By presenting his naked body, its scars and marks of the treatment that has saved his life but left him walking with a stick and prone to crippling bouts of ulcerative colitis, an audience is confronted with a person who has survived cancer but is still feeling its effects and living in its shadow.
