Holographic Heartbreak 

Ileanna Cheladyn

An iridescent dancer. Tall, but not vertical. Sometimes vertical. Always slouching into the next. All posture and transformation. The angle of incidence affording perversion. Structures and surfaces of intimacy. A playlist of slow transmutations appearing. 

Creator/performer: Ileanna Sophia Cheladyn

Mentorship/outside eye: Vanessa Goodman

Outside eye: Diego Romero

Footnotes: a work in process
Daisy Thompson

Footnotes is an entangled ball of motion, thought, and action, made up of varying threads. A group piece performed by one, it weaves together a collective of voices that make up the many spheres of Thompson's PhD research which explores the notion of Kinesthetic Strike: a resistance dance that focuses on that what releases when we detach from a society that presents only fixed possibilities.

Concept and performance: Daisy Thompson

Researched and created with: Rianne Svelnis (movement), Zahra Shahab (movement), Emmalena Fredriksson (movement), Justine A. Chambers (outside eye and chapter case study), Lee Su-Feh (outside eye and chapter case study), Olivia C. Davies (chapter case study), and a plethora of philosophical framings from thinkers, authors, and activists.

Music: Edzi’u
