Body Tongues: a Collective Rage_Choir (2024)
a witnessing of, and holding of each other’s rage through the somatic (awareness), touch, witnessing, observation, active listening, vocalization, movement, and an unfolding of the various layers that rage contains. I invite the participant(s) as my co-orchestrator negotiating these acts and gestures with one another.
