Celeste Snowber
Dance and Poetry Covid Times
Artist Statement
This project explores a pedagogy of place through site-specific dance and poetry done near my home. On the edge of wild and urban landscape as well as the inner landscape of fragility, I take my feet walking as a way of opening up attention and exploring the intimacy of an embodied knowing. Within COVID times, I respond to creation in the moments with tiny dances where I inhabit more fully what it means to be present. Movements, poetry and spoken word emerge from the breath and bone, exploring a syntax of the body in relationship to the earth.
