WE MAKE DANCES ABOUT PLACE AND ENDURANCE. We exhaust our bodies with highly physical choreographies that reflect our collective training histories of improvisation, Olympic-level sport, ballet, modern dance technique, photography, and sound design. THE INVESTIGATION OF LAND AND NOTIONS OF HOME are drivers for our work. Sometimes this means diving into explorations about nostalgia, memorializing, and death and dying practices. Sometimes this means committing to durational walking practice, mapping miles of land and mapping our internal spaces with the same concern/care/curiosity. Our work is a grief ritual, a caretaking practice, a search for the utopic within the quotidian all at the same time. We utilize movement as place-making and the body as archive. We travel between remembering the past, attending to the present moment, and imagining the future. 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. Within this, the body becomes landscape, home, monument, spellcaster, boundary, and the location of desire.
