Abstract

I am a movement artist and researcher. By this I mean it is through the movement of my body and of communal bodies, I feel must safe in exploring and questioning the world around me. I am interested in how embodiment moves beyond the immediate kinesthetic realm, into ritual and religion. Also how ritual and religion create specific bodies through embodied practice. You can think of the different religious practices throughout the African and Asian diaspora and the movement patterns they have created. You can also think about underground club liberation movements that happen in cities like New York and Berlin. More specifically I look at the materials within these environments and practices and how they work with the body to create and specify experience. You can think of instruments and practices that require specific cloth. When the Covid 19 pandemic forced us into lockdown and zoom screens, I began wondering how these kind of relationships and practices happen in a virtual space, as this was our main source of connection. I could play, in a different way, in a different realm, with the animacy of material and the porousness between human and non-human bodies.
