sympoiesis :: no thing makes itself

sympoiesis is  (dance w/live percussion) a performance created in collaboration with percussionist Kevin Corcoran and inspired by Donna J. Haraway's writing on the notion of “being with.” The piece explores with-ness (with) what is “happening” or present within a space of soft dimensions.
