A sounding–a call or a cry–that announces a new form of collectivity, a future assembly of bodies. The project considers foundational dance techniques of lifting, carrying and weight-sharing as manifestations of care and empathy - as forms of feminized labour. The project explored gestures of caressing, holding, cradling and entwining as collective and emergent forms. Conjuring a radical and unapologetic feminine splendour this research delves into a relational and entangled imaginary where landscape, bodies and wearables create complex resistances to dominant modes of seeing and being to make way for new shared embodiments.
