chorea

Performed December 12, 2019 Movement Research at The Judson, NYC

Choreography/Performance: Elisabeth Motley

Through the prism of my neurodivergence and disability, “chorea” crip’s the body as a collective instrument of cultural understanding, misunderstanding, and uncertainty. This practice examines the variance of non-compulsory embodiments and how neurodivergence generates original choreography. chorea trespasses bodily order and allows fitfulness to spill out into public, exposing choreomania in a political/relational model. This work sample is representative of a first section in a larger work in progress. It has been supported as a 2019-2021 Movement Research Artist in Residence and through a Brooklyn Arts Exchange Parent Space Grant and US-UK Fulbright Scholar Award.
