Felt Essence Of

From the Cold Edge: Creative Meditations on Svalbard, Art Exhibition

Amos Eno Gallery, 2024

A live dance performance, embodying the felt unseen. This work explores and examines how the body remembers the essence of a place, while paying ode to the animism of this Arctic environment. Choreographed from improvisations throughout Svalbard, initiated by extreme sensations and the overwhelm of the Arctic nuance and grandeur. Transcended into an alternate realm, outside my concept of space, time and relationship, this place left me silenced by lessons of patience, fragility, devastation, and deep power. I fell in love.
