We are not separate from our individual histories and embodied experiences we meet each other and the research with generosity. In committing to being in something both known and unknown together we find and build collective embodied history and knowledge- Each of us a translator collecting responding with each other and the environment.

We are engaging in research through the moving body

Engaging with these words/concepts as places of continuous inquiry

places to check in with

to come back to

allowing the dance to meet them.

We are

researching

perimeter

-

meeting the space

asking the space

the space behind

we are with each other in our awareness

September - October 2017

During this time in residency this movement practice has been happening weekly on Tuesday Mornings for three hours.

This is a sharing of process

The questions are the same, the attention to the inquiry is the same, the layering in of the public dynamic of "an opening" will shift the research, the research of meeting and "audience"

This is an opportunity to engage with the research of performance, being seen within a durational structure.

The responses and opportunity of public eyes allows for a lot of information to come in.

From 6-9PM October 14, 2017

We begin outside and travel from the outside perimeters of the building inside collecting and translating into the interior spaces-

embodied layering of spaces.

This practice stems from a larger body of research titled:

Landscapes Remind People of Who They Are

-

The Poetics of Form

language in the aftermath of experience

Perimeter

I could spend a lifetime getting to know you

Impressions of wood grain on concrete

Mass

Vertical space

Extreme width

The church and the factory

The perimeters of surfaces

Sewer the gut of the streets

Backspace skyspace

Horizon is the constant

the edge space the space of the edges

It is visible and invisible

Felt

Told

Fake

Imagined

Suggested

Perceived

Marked by

signs

of

Place

Perimeter implies movement

of light and shadow

Moves with the sun

The perimeter of structure is revealed by the elements

Wind

Weather

Webs

Sound perimeters

Rhythms of spaces

The choreography of maps

Impressions of distance

The energetic thread through horizontal space with other bodies

perimeters between us

over time

The density of windows

Heat and reflection

Dimensionality

And

The multidimensional spaces of the moving body

Thresholds have perimeters

but

Perimeters do not necessarily have thresholds

Layers of floor downward slope

Residue Residual

Imagined impressions

Navigation

memory

the perimeter of liveness

Of flight

The social performance of practicing performing for an interrupted group or a group not expecting nor intending to be audience inconspicuous conspicuous surprise spectatorship surprise you are now audience to this thing that is an interruption-

You make a choice that’s happening in the present but you realize it’s not only based on that. -Anne G
