The 2020 Art Continuum took place in Koh Phangan, Thailand, after the cancellation of the Thai Movement Arts Festival and the closure of Thai provinces due to Covid-19.
This media was shared through a facebook thread with 15-20 members at the time of my participation. I am collecting it here to reference and continue drawing these inspirations into my present movements.
Below are the names and linked websites/socials of the contributing artists. Many of these artists stayed in Koh Phangan months and years after I left. I feel very connected to their research and feel a part of myself is there too.
The Art Continuum residency is organized by Sasha Dodo & Dolores Dewhurst-Marks, who are also co-founders of the Towards Contact Center for Research . Our residency home was a studio at the Siam Healing Center.
Participants who overlapped with my residency (April-August 2020):
No An, Francisco Borges, Mikis Taguchi, Zuzanna Bukowski, Geraldín Acevedo España, Karina Gezatsyan, Jialu Guo, Janania Mendes, Milenka Salinas, Gen Seeya, Ania Weronika, Sabrina Xicoteta, and Sujata Yoko, Veronica Olariu, Arnaud Chartier, and Davi Rhein.
Such a small portion of this work was captured on camera. The dance we see on film was facilitated as much by the dancers within view as it was by the several bodies just outside the frame, resonating in unison, propelling the dance along.
