Four Ruptures continues my exploration of how the body registers and responds to social and environmental disruption.
A multidisciplinary project weaving dance, visual art, projection, scenic design, and sound into an immersive, evolving environment, Four Ruptures confronts rupture as both fracture and generative opening in a world marked by ecological collapse, social tension, and collective grief.
Rupture presses into the body: thickened air in our lungs, unstable climates unsettling our nervous systems, isolation tactics, and social tensions reverberating through muscle, bone, and sinew. By considering the invisible forces of flow and resistance as fluid states, we begin to see how bodies, in turn, sculpt the spaces they inhabit.
The four interrelated narratives — Something About Sap, Undertow, Patchwork Adrift, and Echo — approach rupture from distinct angles: the sticky residue of arrival and departure, the forces of erosion and renewal, fragmented memory landscapes, and the subtle echoes that shape a body’s experience of space and time.
Through these threads, Four Ruptures allows disruption to unfold as a lived experience — one informed by individual histories, environmental context, and collective presence. The work explores how artists continue to find new ways of being together, inhabiting our bodies, and sharing our voices.
