Decomposition of a Continuous Whole

2009-16
Performance
4 hours

Decomposition of a Continuous Whole questioned the indexicality of dance within the exhibition space as a critical tool of deconstruction and reflection. During the performance, time was expanded, and temporal and narrative limitations commonly ascribed to choreography were erased. My internal experience was as informative as that of the audience, as I explored identity construction, erasure and visibility, repetition as a site of knowledge, and the traces or history of the Black female body as a method of experience.
