We are currently developing a new collaborative work that responds to the subtle yet immense forces that shape both landscapes and relationships. Rooted in our shared interests in movement, somatic practice, visual art, and ecological sensitivity, this project unfolds as an embodied investigation of holding and breaking, of subtle shifts and sudden ruptures.

​

Our starting point is an image, a vast, slowly shifting body, marked by pressure, by time, by collapse and care. Without naming it, this form becomes a metaphor: for endurance, for transformation, for the weight of history and the tenderness of connection. We see echoes of ourselves in it, in how we lean into and pull away from one another, in how we support, resist, falter, and adapt.

​

Through dance, object-making, and a process-based studio practice, we are crafting a tactile, interdisciplinary landscape. We work with materials like plaster, casts, paint, and fabric, things that can melt, break, stain, hold. These substances allow us to register traces of touch, tension, and pressure: the residue of interaction. They are witnesses to the mess of becoming.

​

We are interested in not-knowing, in staying with uncertainty as an artistic strategy. Our rehearsals are filled with questions rather than answers. How do we remain porous, responsive, and open to change? How do we make space for collapse without rushing to rebuild?

​

This work invites audiences into a space of shared attention. Not as spectators, but as witnesses to unfolding processes, to bodies in relation, to material in flux. We hope to foster a felt sense of entanglement: between self and other, body and environment, intention and accident.

Our intergenerational collaboration is central to this, a practice of listening across time, difference, and lived experience. We honour our different ways of making and knowing, allowing them to rub up against one another, to generate new textures and unexpected forms.

​

At its core, this work asks: What does it mean to be in relation when the ground beneath us is always shifting?
