The Humbling

“The Humbling or Chapter of Mama: Part 1 is a critical reflection of the joys and challenges of being a mother and a working artist. It is a piece for five dance artists; as well as my toddler and husband; and the toddler, newborn and husband of [dancer] Caroline Fermin. All work together to perform the piece. Devotion is laced throughout the work in how we engage with our children and how we continue to return to the steps we’ve laid out for ourselves.”

– Esmé Boyce

Speaking Sentences Backwards

“[Haunting] points to the non-full, non-total presence of being. In every being there’s always already an absence of presence, an inheritance, a trace of that which was and that which is to come. In every being there is a haunting.”

– Ezekiel Dixon-Román in “Haunting, Blackness, and Algorithmic Thought”

Between Isolation

“I worked with performer Kellie Lynch to interpret the sensation of isolation and the ensuing struggle to regain orientation…To capture the moving body, I worked with a motion capture studio system and true depth infrared sensors. The story pays homage to Plato’s Cave Allegory and the struggle to question one’s own point of view.”

– Osvald Landmark

Earth is a Breathing Valley

“Every Force Evolves a Form is an illustrated allegory of transness and contemporary physics, set to a score of semi-composed instrumental music. The story follows a blip on the eternal energy plane, who upon meeting a kindred blip is sucked into the material realm and cast into a journey of self-rediscovery through the evolution of the universe and human consciousness.”

Intimate Views

“A house in the woods reveals its mythology to a couple of temporary inhabitants. Shot throughout two seasons in the same year, Intimate Views charts the evolution of one location through the exploration of two subsequent relationships that unfold within its walls.”

Continuous Becoming

“Utilizing the concept of space-time popularized by Einstein’s special relativity, Continuous Becoming attempts to translate 4-dimensional space through the 2-dimensional plane. The film revolves around the axis of a 360 degree camera rotation. With each rotation, partitions are gradually added dividing the frame, each of which are offset by a frame ahead in time. The image, once fixed by a single locality and temporality, slowly becomes a malleable surface susceptible to the pressures of expanding space-time.”
