landings for six

A new work for six artists meant to reflect on time and space. A fleeting moment between a transitional space meant to move bodies between the verticality of a structure. Drawing from physical and sonic memory and archive of "Between the Landings," a work created in 2024 with Justin Calvadores (BC) and Dorchel Haqq (NY). "Between the Landings" is a dialogue between two spaces and two artists a continent apart. "landings for six" asks its audience to linger in a space where they are usually meant to keep moving. It asks the audience to listen to the history of past performances while witnessing an ephemeral moment of now.

The work began by exploring the liminal space in transition— the moment between rise and fall, where descent extends beyond ascent. This work was performed simultaneously across the continent, aiming to deepen our understanding of the relationships between time, emotion, and transformation. It invited us to reflect on the narratives etched into the walls, stories documented in the materials designed to support structures. It embodies a practice focused on spaces that are fleeting in their nature.

BETWEEN THE LANDINGS

"Between the Landings" focuses on the thematics of how we land in different places, both physically and conceptually. It uses the liminal space of the stairs and how we transport ourselves from one place to another to expand our practice of disorienting perceptions. This work lingers in the haze between the past, present and future, examining and using sound to access memory as a reconstruction process embracing the various elaborations, distortions, and omissions.
