Body Expenditures: Excesses, Depletions, and Smoke Breaks

Body Expenditures: Excesses, Depletions, and Smoke Breaks

Work with performance focusing on bodies under the influence of contemporary labor practices and the hard borders of geopolitics, law, and gender. In this studio-laboratory explore how relevant texts can translate into movement, how arbitrary borders become lived experience, and how work remakes the body. The culmination of this workshop series will be a group performance of the participant’s collective findings and queries on these topics.

Teaching artists- Artists: Joni Murphy & J. Soto
