I had the great pleasure of working with Indigo Cook starting in October 2022 for the Interdisciplinary Arts Collective Performance Calendar. Our inspiration was a section of the Infrarealist Manifesto by Roberto Bolaño:
Tenderness as an exercise of velocity. Respiration and heat. Disparate experience, structures that devour themselves, crazy contradictions.
We started by creative movement prompts based on the text, then spent several hours moving in response to them. The result was a dance film balancing speed, texture, solo, and duet movement.
