CHASING THE FRAMEWORK is an open framework centering improvisational performance to excavate thematic structures within the body; rooted in Blackness, abstraction, and relentless exploration, seeks to unearth possibilities beyond the confines of our current reality, dismantling oppressive systems like white supremacy, patriarchy, capitalism, and sexism.

We start by conceptualizing repetition and exploring themes of cyclical patterns in behavior, thoughts, and ideas. We will use somatic practices from childhood to unlock an otherwise possibility to imagine space outside of everything complexed.
