Iteration 1, Los Angeles Photo by Charles Han This 12-hour solo performance aimed to produce a dance that: +offered time rather than demanded it +operated in radically humble mode +breathed as an anthem to the limits of empathy culture, AND also aspired toward mutual recognition +attended to a painstakingly precise compositional score, and dropped it to say, “i love you; welcome; thank you for coming; you are more important than the work, that is the work.” +could be infinitely renewable For this project, I transcribed aphorisms/proverbs onto my body. The score placed vernacular wisdoms on an embodied collision course. Occasionally, one or two aligned or emerged triumphantly. Lighting design by Arsenio Apillanes
