Dance Becomes Her: a performance-lecture

Dance Becomes Her addresses the ways that dance and embodied knowledge is shared between and archived within bodies across time. Language and movement collide and mix and slip past each other in ways that help to articulate and demonstrate the subject, in ways that either form operating alone cannot.

The dancing body is not one that grows solo. It feeds off those around it, consciously and subconsciously, in a pinpoint moment in time and across expanded duration. Both through and without language, learnings accumulate within the body, within the spaces it occupies and in the archive of memory.

… and the dancing body is a tool acquired by Dance itself. Dance wears us, like a costume.
