WE MAKE DANCES ABOUT PLACE AND ENDURANCE. Our work reflects our collective training histories in improvisation, Olympic-level sport, ballet, queer southerness, midwestern femmeness, modern dance technique, photography, and sound design. We walk. We map miles of land and our internal spaces with care and curiosity. THE INVESTIGATION OF place AND NOTIONS OF HOME are drivers for our research. We sweat our nostalgia, memorializing, and decay practices into movement. Our work is a grief ritual, a caretaking practice, a search for the utopic within the quotidian. We grapple with the necessity of proximity to each other: we shake, rumble and drag each other to the ground, lift each other up, carry + sing to each other. OUR DANCES ARE SENSORIAL ENCOUNTERS BETWEEN SITE/PERFORMERS/AUDIENCES that are intimate and relational. (We desire more of these encounters.) Within this, the body becomes landscape, home, monument, spellcaster, boundary, and the location of desire.
