Experiencing Interruptions?

My Days

July 2018, I started a practice of filming myself moving in various locations with a question; what kind of relationship do I have to dance and movement? My curiosity has been on my body movement stemmed from the felt senses in responses at a particular time and place. Every time I filmed I put very short footage on Instagram @practice.of.the.day, which had accumulated to 100 by September 2020. This short film has been made with selected footages in order to acquire a sense of the whole practice till then.

Director Statement

Movement is our first language. Dance is the poetry of that language.
Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen

From large waves with an arm to breathing and the heartbeat, our bodies are always moving as the expression of our lives. I feel so dear to attend others’ such expressions and feel nurtured to experience my own. Our bodies express our feelings, emotions, memories, histories, ancestors, imaginations and dreams.

In my work, my goal is to offer a space for others to connect with these materials that lie within themselves, and to carry them forward.
