My head. My shoulders. My groins. My legs. 
Some of them in the past, Some in the present
Where is my body? “When” is my body?

...following the abilities and powerlessness…
I find the Body that, reflects me, hides me
reveals me, shames me, presents me …
Limbs run ahead, or try to catch up
A symphony of disconnected tempos….

 

More Time In Your Thighs" is an exploration of the relationship between time and the physicality of the body. Rooted in my ongoing curiosity about time, this work asks a question about how time is trapped in ourl bodies. The exploration of the body in movement becomes an exploration of my history… Originally developed during a choreographic module at Ponderosa under the guidance of Maria F. Scaroni and further honed through mentorship with Maite Delafin and the residency at The Work Room.
