Exploring an anarchic body, which pierces holes in the wholeness of a thing, this work re-imagines a way of organizing a body and a space where multiple energies, traits, memories and identities are fluidly bubbling up and disappearing.
The work was developed through Danspace Project's Renewal Residency, creative residencies at Topaz Arts (NY) and Bennington College with additional supports from APAP Arts Forward grant, and Vermont Arts Council’s Production Grant
“a ritual for welcoming the unexpected, a map that could be redrawn again and again”
