Boxing Games (2007 & 2018-2022) is a performance/game co-created between myself and ex-South African boxing champion and coach George Khosi. Drawing on George's collective training sessions, Boxing Games changed the rules of boxing to shift the ‘game’ from a focus on singular primacy and domination, towards a more ludic, emergent and collaborative form of play. In 2019 Anthea returned to the gym to re/play/write/fight the story of Boxing Games together with George. You can read the thesis here:
