(m)omemtum: wrapping the gutscape

(m)omentum: wrapping the gutscape moves through ideas of what it means to ingest, transform, and manifest the world around us. How and where do we find potential spaces for expansion, release, and coming together? We invite you to consider how the workings of the gut are analogous with the workings of the environments and systems we navigate daily, and the role they play in our integration with the spaces we inhabit. If the gut holds more nerve cells than the spinal cord; what does that tell us about our "gut feelings"?

Here/Now/Feel
June 2021, VIVA Gallery, Viroqua, WI
Here/Now/Feel aims to explore presence and connection with the body, the public and activation of the surrounding space. It can be experienced like a work of visual art; viewing the micro/macro dynamics of the conceptual whole at any given moment in a 30 minute time frame.

siteSee
August-October 2020
siteSee is a multi-location performance project investigating the synchronicity of the somatic body, outdoor space and audience choice of location. Performers explore themes of relationship, awakening and what it means to be a human animal in a site chosen by the viewer.
"As the dancers emerged from their oneness with the trees, the spaces between came alive with tension, rain pattering, earth thumping, synchronous and individual celebration!...To be able to be close, to be able to follow the dancers as they moved, was a gift. I left feeling my spirit lifted, like I was part of something magical. " --Vicky Ramsay, audience and photographer
