ABOUT weird inkling
The performance explores Fred Moten’s invitation to find the “weird inkling or transformation that might begin to occur in which we realize that what we’ve been trying to figure out how to get to is how we are when we get together to figure it out”.
The destabilizing, destructive, and disappointing politics of the worlds around us inform the work through tender political somatics and conversation. We feel into the impacts of political violence - near and far - on our personal and social bodies and imaginations. We move together towards the political healing potential of dancing and collaborative creativity. Our spontaneous choreographies emerge from our relationships, supported by practices that expand our capacity for empathy, solidarity, and fun.
Produced by Alley Wilde and Keith Hennessy as part of figure it out (a temporary commune) in Space 124 at Project Artaud
