Native Tongue - CounterPulse, San Francisco, CA ,November 17-18, 2017 

Native Tongue was an evening length dance work premiering at CounterPulse in November of 2017. We learn our native tongue through being spoken to, it is a language born of necessity that then informs how we come to understand ourselves and our environment. In this work I am renegotiating my bodily and linguistic point of origin through descending into the preverbal and instinctive landscape of the unconscious. This dance performance is informed by contemporary dance, authentic movement and poetry.
