MOVEMENT FILMMAKING

Collective care practices

Emerging from a fascination with healing processes of the bodymind interface, I create intimate environments for collective care practices and offer videodances as artifact. My work draws from activist strategies for body liberation through experiencing, responsive witnessing, and committing to embodied action.

In process, I hold space for communal exploration to invite felt-sense sequencing of movement in relationship with self, other, and Otherness. Honoring the ancient wisdom of neurobiological impulse, collaborators and I discern meaning from habitual patterns for consciously curious integration or disruption of harmful norms. When filming and editing, I situate these micro-movements within an ecological negotiation between human, socio-environmental context, and imagined alternative re-presented. With camera as witness, the improvisational body movements are rendered as evidence to prioritize accessible distribution into community dialogue.

My work is founded upon critical hope—it is possible to reclaim the body from the grips of social control when we move out of isolative anxiety into cooperative rhythms of change. The potential of my work is then two-fold: shared healing through creative process and its affective ripples into the community.
