A performance installation that grew out of the practice of hugging.

Two bodies move from hug to hug continually. Images are dissolved before they are made while the hugging allows for the you/me/us to become an independent entity, at times a formless mass, other times holding a rare clarity of form, always with brave vulnerability and the humble admittance of all that is human.

 

The concept of the piece is witnessing the emergence of the worlds that arise in relation to something that is subject to constant change. The negotiation of openness, trust and respect allows for an elusive choreography of whimsy, flesh and contradictions: personal and mutual agency, intimacy and distance, human and other, this world and not, serious and funny, documentary and fantasy. It is a practice of deep playful intimacy and engagement with life and nature, composed into a work of art.

 

of all the forests of the world you walked into

the stories melted through

cold wet maybe

left right left right left right left right

dark light

the space-in-between yawning in choir

toes-nose-pose close- held in the
