Embodied Acts of Resilience
As a performance of care, I turn towards the landscape to give the tender and fragmented pieces of myself the emotional freedom to dance. I land, listen, flow, bond, morph and expand; reclaiming my body from the systems and stories of control that have separated her from nature. I trust that whatever vital emerges in me is a gossamer cord weaving me intra the universal moving consciousness. I share my discoveries through the mediums of social practice & education, performance, experimental media, collage, and writing.
