swallow me

/ Josephine Haas

swallow me

„swallow me“ draws upon my own MA research around the storied body, how through movement we can rewrite the history stored in our bodies memory. The storied body refers to the perceptions built upon ones prior experiences. Through the act of movement  reliving the experience  one  can release the old narrative and rewrite a new story.

 

Through the solo, I explore nature’s resilience in relation to human’s resilience, using nature as a metaphor in rewriting our storied body. As nature destructs to reconstruct, humans can deconstruct preconceived stories/ trauma in the body and rewrite them with empowering narratives. Through the act of allowing the stories of the body to swallow us like the waves of the sea, we release what we no longer need from the narratives, hold onto the power, and rise resiliently wild.
