About this Project
A site-specific dance art project, This Body With explores relational duets with the material and living landscape around the Kruununvuorenranta construction sites on the island Laajasalo, Helsinki. Weaving together bodily practices in dream recording, stravaiging, movement improvisation and writing, intuition leads the research in what arises in between this body and the sensed environment. It is an inquiry of the body in relation to boundaries, geography; the memory, and disembodiment of land.
The project is also a blessing; a ritual, an archive - of the embodied places in-process and encounters within them, amidst the rapid changes, felt across insecure boundaries and their fluid nature.
