because my body is the site where time becomes itself, actualized in space, abstracted by movement

Finding the rhythm of the words. Respecting intuition is a radical act. Trusting the traumatized body is a radical act. Because I am 1,000 Grains of Sand happened in the desert, an exploration of time in a place that feels untouched by it. Anger in A Blank Space, a nine day durational project about alienation, used that alienation as a mechanism to negotiate movement. Dance is Dead, we all get disillusioned sometimes. Native Tongue, who are we before we are spoken to? Iris’s Accumulation, still accumulating. I Hold Your Light Unbroken, a mirror is reflective because it gives back all the light that it receives. Cartography of Becoming, still becoming—practically though, a duet with falling rocks, falling from my body. More and more cycle through, various wombs—I want you to feel like you’re on a pilgrimage. The clocks of our bodies speaking to one another. Existing as a quiet cycle. Existing because I want to know what it means to fully embody the traumatized body. Existing because the body has its own system of logic. Existing because my body is the site of materiality where time becomes itself. Actualized in space, abstracted in movement.
