Letters to a Brother
A series of dances that hold a place of performative vigil
for my relationship with my own brother, who departed suddenly and early in his life . The dances are as well, capaciating a space for unspoken languages to emerge in kinetic form, to speak through dance to the songs that recall, in the places that remember. These Letters are, in collection, a physical address from the cusp of complexities within siblingship-- and give language for the unresolved energetics to play out, and redress what is necessary, from interiorities of each other and oneself-- across distance, difference, love, rivalry, a missing, or closeness. Siblingship is an unique intimacy in a way, but especially these clips hone in on a raw facing of challenge, physicalize an emotionality to political casualties of political pressure and survival amidst finding who they are.
