Breaking the Fall is a trilogy created in collaboration with my mother, Cherrie Beaney. The films explore embodied, personal and social experiences of illness, care and interdependence. Within the context of our mother-daughter relationship, we explore how illness and care is enacted in the familial setting, drawing upon Johanna Hedva’s Sick Woman Theory to ‘take seriously’ everyday acts of care.
