Experiencing Interruptions?

Ho.Me

Ho.Me is a short dance film that explores themes of belonging, comfort and discomfort in relation to the notion of inhabiting the body. The piece is comprised of three portraits of individuals who live in very different bodies linked together through a loose narrative. Shot in the intimate settings of each dancers’ home, the three performers move through solo material derived from the questions: Where do I come from? What stories do I carry? What is inside me? Through the three characters’ movement we learn about their distinct qualities and quirks. A kitchen, a living room, a couch, a clock... What stories to these places carries? How does the
body relate to them? Moving from the private, intimate, space of their homes, the dancers become an ensemble in the formal setting of an art gallery, building a connection that speaks to
togetherness. Ho.Me revels in the beauty of difference and the universality of the body; it highlights the relationship between the body and the self and the creative possibilities of the
body.
