BARE

BARE

This is a solo.
Out of urgency. About making a refuge to fold into or folding into this place as if it is a refuge.
About reaching out to the movements and ways of other forms of existences.
To pull the idea of inside apart.
A dancing myself bare or to bare dance.

BARE emerges from carefully considered/choreographed situations I embedded myself in over the last months: Tact. Sea. Forest. Unhoused. Originally conceived out of urgency to reconsider the parameters of how i/we exist, BARE now stretches beyond its bounds. The solo bears resonance as the experiences re-organize and transduce. As this dance rises, so does a new mind, open to changing the way I move, the way I move to think.

"The space of experience is really, literally, physically a topological hyperspace οf transformation" B. Massumi
