Where is my B-O-D-Y (2021)

Accomplished artists Gus Solomons jr (NYC) and Pallabi Chakravorty (Philadelphia) collaborate with Kun-Yang Lin in a discovery process to develop new movement methods for artists who are navigating lives as mature creators with physical limitations.

The exploration will consider two central questions:

How do I rediscover my own body?

How do I transmit effectively when my body is failing me?

The artists will consider new modes of creation and documentation and the ways in which their artistic practices can be preserved and communicated to others. The collaborators will experiment with video to uncover new ways it can be used to develop, document, and share dance works. The project will culminate in one community sharing at Gus Solomons’ studio in NYC and one community sharing at Kun-Yang Lin/Dancers’ Chi Movement Arts Center.
