Leftovers

Josh Martin / Company 605

15 minutes

This solitary dance began as an investigation surrounding the idea that the body holds a separate memory bank: Muscle tissue, bones, tendons and organs all storing their own accounts of past events, actions and trauma, with this collected information not readily shared or easily accessed by the mind. The process explores how to consistently find, enter, and move through different states and sensations. In a constant effort to disconnect movement from thought, the dance is an attempt to externalize the inner moments of body recall, and an expansion of what gets churned up in the retrieval.
