Current Projects (2024-25)
Resisting Extinction at the Peripheries
BodyCartography’s Resisting Extinction will be developed and performed in landscapes in Cyprus, Denmark, and Poland with local and international performers.
As the world is experiencing a climate emergency, the core of the project offers adaptive practices for performers and audiences to develop understanding and resilience in the fight against climate change on a personal and collective level.
The site-specific relational dance work will unfold in sites of ecological importance. It provides a structure for ongoing research, mentoring, and exchange with local communities, scientists, activists, and local and international artists to learn about local ecosystems through embodied practice. Together, the partnership adapts to meet the socio-cultural, ecological, and geographical contexts in which the work will be performed.
The performances will function as intimate communal events, opening space to grieve for animals, plants, land, values, or belief systems that are being lost. Together, practices will be built that reweave the relational field with the more-than-human world. This immersive participatory work offers opportunities to move collectively towards creating more ecologies of reciprocity.
