MOVEMENTS FOR MOVEMENT IN THE EVENT OF BEING MOVED, 2026

A collective work under project Apartment 19

Performance 70 min
Sound, 59 min 10 sec
Scored and performed by Yiming Clara, Denise Heredia, Cammie Lee, Nanyi Jiang, Gianna Caudillo

Developed collaboratively between five people of vastly different practices, MOVEMENTS FOR MOVEMENT IN THE EVENT OF BEING MOVED is an event that churns every exhalation within the gallery space (spilling out just a little) into performance, drawing out the latent choreographies that organize social spaces in the slippage between gesture and everyday movement. Structured in four symphonic movements, this dispersed orchestra gathers a concurrence of discrete performances through sound—from dance, jazz, and ekphrasis to cutting a wall and serving tea—scored by the cacophony of the art event: small talk, greetings, glances, noise, eavesdropping, flirtation, boredom, awkwardness. The performance grows out of and on occasion of Clara’s /room/ installation at Slash, 似曾相识 | Dance, in Theater with Window.
