Carbon to Carbon
Since 2020 I’ve been exploring the physiological relationships between human bodies and other species through the canon of Qi Gong, BMC and my somatic practice as a contemporary dancer and choreographer. Some research notes for this week I have made are: Bones/geology time Time - from creation to dissolution of bones the time frame of the mineral which is carbon within geographical time and our own individual physical life time Because we have a stake in our future beyond our life time - telluric unrest Respiration Extended Breathwork across species Ashes to ashes/dust to dust Materiality of dancers‘ bones Bones are the architecture of movement Bones return to the dust of this planet The dust of this planet is the geological and ontological trace of our presence (or reverse) how can the transformation in dance echo the transforming of returning to dust in the planet and how can we exceed the categorical divisions of our world human/non human Sentient/non sentient Material
