Private Inventory/No Health Insurance (2018-2020)

Private Inventory or No Health Insurance is a thinking, moving, and writing-it-down practice that looks more at what choreographs us than what we choreograph. Private Inventory attempts to translate non-verbal, embodied self-knowledge acquired through dancing into written record. From movement practices, we generate writings, surveys, anecdotes, and charts to map out the particularities and generalities of a dancing body. Private Inventory or No Health Insurance assumes that there is no normative body and that we’re all carving out unique ways of moving through the world at all times.

Developed with support from PASS: Performing Arts Salon Saturdays at Snug Harbor Cultural Center and the MANCC/Maggie Allesee National Center for Choreography, Forward Dialogues 2019.
