each one of us is a cemetery 

in a garden of future generations 

children of ancestors 

Our bodies are felt as temporary autonomous zones of intersectional, inherited imperatives, immigrations, survival strategies, genocides, along with gendered, racialized, classed chronologies and cartographies.

These morning classes will explore choreographic writing, tracing, and drawing practices that will emerge from our technical exploration of shape, breath, and movement. We will work with the senses, memory and materiality to hold presence and psychic cohesion in the always vulnerable body. — Dages Juvelier Keates
