Embodied Practice In Motion
This dialogue unfolds between two immigrant women who sit face-to-face.
Their shared feeling of incompleteness becomes the starting point of an intimate exchange. Together, they position the body as a map a living archive of what it holds, what it expresses, and how it reaches toward other bodies across time and space.
As they meet each other’s gaze, they begin to ask:
-
What do you see when you look at me?
-
Where does distance begin - on the map, or in the skin?
-
Is longing still, or does it move?
-
Where do you go when you’re neither here nor there?
-
How do you touch someone who is no longer near?
-
What does distance taste and smell like?
Through these questions, their bodies respond — sometimes with stillness, sometimes with movement.
They begin to sense how longing has its own rhythm: at times anchoring them to the past, at times propelling them toward new ways of belonging and connection.
The dialogue continues
through breath, through gesture, through silence
