STORAGE CONTAINER 02

Soft Protection + Saturated Response

w/ Vanessa Samp, Sasha Zimani & Tristan Friedberg Rodman

A small ceramic salt shaker made of a swirling dark blue and white gradient. The shape of the salt shaker is not symmetrical and it is sitting on top of a light wooden surface.

An embodied conversation and musical curation supporting a collaborative exploration of the body’s response to social, political, environmental stimuli as well as EQUITY OF CARE. What does it mean to lack access to healthcare while moving through chronic dis-ease and how is this magnified during a pandemic? How do certain compositions, environmental sounds & sonic archives of bodily movements help us to feel safe/supported & comforted when are body responds in a way that presents deep challenge?

This team of bodies and brains will share their experience with immune response and how it acts as both protection and saturation – moving our bodies through peace, uncertainty, safety, fear, tenderness, dis-ease, and the constantly shifting process of healing (balance of functional action and nutritive fluid).
