Dance Ecology

During my 2018 creative residency at Socrates Sculpture Park under the auspices of Movement Migration and produced by Norte Maar, I researched improvisation with solos to the poetry of Wendell Berry in intentional landscapes. Improvisation sounds simple. “Just make it up!”, right? But the action of improvisation that I aspire to comprises less of making it up and more of listening to the movement urges coming from my charged, expressive body. After years of intentional cultivation, my physical form, musicality, and spatial sense are all poised to conduct improvisation in order to mine the moment and discover action through relational choices that my body-mind, mind-body is making.
