I imagine the stage as a dance floor, summoning all the dances, rhythms, and geographies I have moved through—or imagined. It is a collection of fragments of life, of decentered memories that come together as a noisy polyphony. This is an anti-site-specific project: it explores the territories the body carries within it, like layers folding over one another in a single place. It stems from a practice that has accompanied me for as long as I can remember—a practice of relating to (my) body, (my) memory, and the landscapes that have shaped me. How do I carry territory in my body?
