The Art of Falling and not getting up again.

October 2022- Dumb Instrument Dance hosted me for a beautiful and affirming residency at Morrow.

I investigated how falling works in my body and in others who use manual wheelchairs. It became a practice of spending time with myself to discover ways of gently softening into a fall. Learning how to support the unpredictable. How to deepen my knowledge of my body and the way it works. It became a practice of love and self care.

Thanks to Ziyian Kwan, Rianne Svelnis, Donna Redlick, Adam Grant Warren, Emily Grace Brook, Carolina Bergonzoni, Nathan Buskell, and many others for sharing space and knowledge with me.

This is only phase one of a more extensive investigation. Subscribe to my newsletter to stay up to date on my current projects.
