Abstract
An embodied investigation of Heideggerian ideas of homecoming and dwelling and the proposal that Ecology is perhaps at its source a way of being at home, a reading of territory that is relational and always in a state of change. Referring to Felix Guattari’s influential text The Three Ecologies and proposing that located dance, or moving within one's environment, might in itself constitute one of the ‘existential territories’ or homelands that Guattari suggests as practice.
Studies for Maynard is a meditation on dislocation; the always unfinished practices of making home and sheltering; illuminating through movement recent embryological research; the Apollo 9 mission; the territorial behaviour of ravens, the writings and walks of Rajah Shehadah and Starman by David Bowie. Home as more than a place; a network of resonances, as fragile and changeable as weather.
Live solo performance and film.
