Here, here and here here and here, here here here and here, here.

The project commit to unrestrained meaning production, and in order to dance writes a book, which is several, onto several bodies, in several places. Choreography turns into a multiple choir traveling a lace. And where language bribes logics, landscapes shift the horizon. And as narrative proceeds without a script, the dancers inscribe each other into someone else’s hand, and wanders in between. The project argues for choreography as the braiding of middle sense, that which navigates between words and gestures, between exposure and reception, between the reciprocally perceived recognized and the disposed dismissed. A middle where each place is a singular here entangled into many. Where sense grows unstable and beautifully tenacious.

Here, here and here here and here, here here here and here, here. – film & dance performance

Clear minded and fearless, they stumble effortlessly from one place to the next, leap the distance and fold into the next. Two figures and ten places, unreliably irregular, split-listeners, vigilantly distracted and somewhat naïve moving into a close encounter. The performance is careful, impulsive, quiet and untied, shifting between immersive reverb and sudden peaks of intensity, from inexplicable recklessness to dreamy melancholy. Tracing the sweet rough sentiment of an old Texan waltz.

RIGHT HERE – performative reading

Three women sit at a table and speak the novel, and in order to pronounce the words they watch films, hold up signs, drown in paper, dance themselves non-sensical. Text turns into gesture, gesture into choreography, choreography lands into a nest of disparate narrative in disorder. More than a reading, this is an etching of traces, and a ragbag plotting a story on the spot. Inexplicably lighthearted and decisive gravity. Literature in the making and entertainment, suitable for libraries, galleries, museums, theatre venues and other public places.

HERE – film & dance installation

Two female figures in a corner listen to pop and dance a floor bound duet. In the opposite corner, creased text swaying in the breeze, moving the corner into several. Floors, walls, pages and bodies dancing into one another together apart, unable to settle into a single here.

Everywhere – film installation

51 films, edited into ten narratives overwhelming walls, floors, corners and ceilings with their wilderness. The films are shot in Nevada, Death Valley (Stovepipe & Amargosa) and California (Trone, Pismo, Highway 1) and depict empty places, where two female figures walk the uncertain. Everywhere, the landscapes shift into a narrative of transference, made of passing details, eyes wide open, hinged to sentiment. This is a steep dream choreography in the spirit of Terrence Malick, in search of a Sofia Coppola breach. Stringency into the mild, lost time, restrained.
