dancing with the ghost of ourselves is an open level movement workshop facilitated by slowdanger directors taylor knight and anna thompson. The workshop explores the ephemerality of movment expression and how it relates to our state of being, somatic sensations and the ways our bodies interact with imagery, space and the question, “what holds us together?”
Participants will be guided through somatic based improvisation and devised movement modalities. The goal for this workshop is to allow movement to be a key for unlocking stored and resonant memory within our flesh and bones. These memories, images, emotions will become tools for choreographic play, research and collective movement creation.

Sosososoo grateful to have begun
Rebel Bodies
Research phase 1 with this past July

Words fail but the experiences we have been archiving within our own bodies and in resonance with our more than human land collaborators will continue to reverberate for timetimetime to come. So excited to be back next summer to dive back in and stay tuned for potential US engagements in 2026!!

Much gratitude to K for inviting us into co-devising this acoustic ecological embodied practice. Lovelovelove the sensing language we are forming to navigate worlds we are conjuring!

Roots, an ant hill, piles of chopped wood, rocks, caves, dead trees, and water from Ärjänsaari Island and Pirunvaara forest were sampled by the .label Geofón to produce sub frequencies that rattled our dancing lichen fries and folks inside of wood fired sauna.😶‍🌫️
Field recordings and Geofón captures from Kajaani were triggered via the SOMI-1 kit.

Our immense gratitude to the folks in Kajaani that embraced and supported us during our process period
