White line fever – also known as highway hypnosis – is an altered mental state in which a driver can travel lengthy distances, responding to external events in the expected, safe, and correct manner with no recollection of having consciously done so. White line fever delves into an intimate affair; a relationship with a car. More than just a machine that moves you from A to B, it is the space where endless daydreams of leaving can be redeemed – or get stuck.

White line fever is act one of the choreographic work DRIVER. The series investigates the act of driving, a paradoxical situation of movement; being in motion, whilst sitting still. It is a play on preconceived notions of perception and agency, a play on who is moving who, at what pace, and through which spaces.
