Our material memory practice, initiated in September 2019, comprises regular studio exercise, an ongoing conversation on the frames and conditions under which (and with which) we work, and experimental performances in different media such as environment, sound and video.

We are a collective of dancer-creators curios about the materiality of body-to-body interaction and its relation with patriarchal disciplining. Can we understand embodied memory not as symbolically stored information but as mere material? Can we dance and improvise together while affirming this difference? And to what performative interventions will this approach enable us?

Our current focus is to construct a channel with which to share this specific mode of physically relating. If the institutions of patriarchy are disciplining bodies through narratives and images (creating gender, race and shame), then we can encounter these institutions in their materiality, from ours.

We are working over the internet, and we're striving to make our research publicly accessible. Our archive contains visual traces, oral accounts, and conceptual essays from past sessions, and our bodies store the experience of improvising together. How can we use the online media -- audiovisual and textual -- to share these as a tangible living archive?
