thinking-moving poems is a performance research project that explores the intimacies of being enmeshed in the urban quotidian of New York City. As a meditative movement-based solo performance accompanied by a collaborative sound piece, this work investigates slowness as an intervention to urban velocities, and the intricacies of daily life and time as felt within the body and the sensorial.

movement score
Returning to the womb
To life that began within and without
Existing in the present moment
The body overgrown,
The body moving through the molasses of memory
Moving for neither form nor formlessness, moving in-between
Folding into crevices, giving way for the soma to speak and psyche to listen
Somehow find verticality, re-entering into the world
Giving and taking, an exploration of energy and moving forces
Connecting with gaze, and seeing with skin
Returning always to the capacity to give
Listening from our feet: a walking meditation finds beginnings
Exploring the body’s architecture through gesture-deconstructed
What happens when we distill and loosen our daily postures?
What unfolds and what moves within?
