my current practice wanders at the intersection of somatic, eco-bio materials, and technology. i see dance as a relational practice of tuning to the feral fringes - i’m wondering: what is the somatic sensorium of non-normative s p a c e, p ace, and relationships?

observing how a snail’s tentacle twitches, a plastic crumple unfurls, or a tea string wiggles just slightly in the not-too-fierce air, i am intrigued by those micromovements and subtle sensations. how do those “little dances” poke one’s attention? what somatic states nudge one towards the fringe of our perception, to let our bodymind be tickled by those subtle forces? i bring similar modality of inquiry into messing around with technology, as i wonder: how to ‘debug’ softly? or can we dance with the ‘bugs’ :3?

specific practices that have been formative to my current research include: butoh, contact improvisation, jodged amerta, and sprinkles of other somatic exercises that bring awareness to subtle somatic information.
