here while nothing, work notes

here while nothing, work notes is a choreographic process that took place at dance studios at Uferstudios in Berlin. It explored choreography as a residue, in opposition to a deliberate attempt. What kind of dance might appear once there is no attempt to dance anything at all? What kind of something can nothingness produce, understood as a specific site? This choreographic process led to a subsequent piece titled work every day, which experimented with the questions of work, immaterial labor, residual forms, rest, embodiment, form, formlessness, nothingness, and disappearance.
