Brit Falcon

I investigate the forces, relationships, and systems that shape how bodies navigate and carry lived experience. How can choreography reveal what is normally imperceptible?

Rooted in the intersection of care and rigor, my work is built through collective practice and interdisciplinary research. Together, we explore virtuosity, somatic practices, compositional improvisation, text, and touch-based methodologies as tools for discovery. My background as a Licensed Massage Therapist informs a process of deep listening, while my experience as a former athlete shapes an attention to efficiency, innovation, and physical endurance. My background in visual art fuels an ongoing practice of visual mapping, using diagrams, pathways, and evolving forms to trace a work's development, the movement of energy and patterns of connection. I am equally inspired by sound and vibration, exploring their visual and spatial manifestations while creating immersive soundscapes that envelop the work.

At the heart of my practice is a belief that choreography is a way of asking questions, cultivating attention, and opening new ways of knowing. It is a means of investigating our relationships to ourselves, one another, and the environments that shape us. Rather than offering resolution, I hope my work invites audiences to remain with complexity, notice patterns of connection and change, and discover new ways of sensing, relating, and imagining. Ultimately, I hope my work invites audiences to perceive what might otherwise remain unseen.
