As we feel the breadth of the effects of the Anthropocene period, what are ways that we imagine a future where humans can continue to co-create with the natural world? Can we plasticize our imagination through tactile explorations of this physical world with our bodies? Can we imagine co-transformations both real and imagined?
We are in the initial stages of building our next Desire Motor project, Unstable States, the seventh work in the Desire Motor series.
Unstable States is a performance/installation/biomaterial fabrication that investigates our connection to the materials that make up our physical world, their origins, and how they came to be in our personal space.
Current research includes: theory-based systems of meta-movement geometries (Post-Human Ecologies), detritus of physical material temporarily transformed with basic natural chemistry play, kinetic becoming of material - how does material transform into a movement body? How does a moving body form and loosen its form alongside these non-human material transformations? How can we co-learn, or disrupt known modes of material realities?
Recently, we had a residency at Dancing Grounds in New Orleans, where we worked on movement & sound creation inspired by interaction & research of natural material origin stories alongside our fabricated and transforming biomaterials.
