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 

Materiality of bone as an impact on planet 

Materiality of self in the writing or choreography of collective or self 

Density/fractile

Bone/geological time 

Transformational dynamic of the creation and dissolution of mineral 

Movement is the way of thinking
