Abstract
thirrea emerged from a conversation with Emily, who expressed a desire to explore movement as a response to environment—an attunement not just to space, but to its emotional and material presence. This inquiry led to a performance grounded in deep relationality, where soil, plants, and water became co-conspirators rather than mere backdrop. Emily moves with and through these elements, blurring the boundaries between body and landscape. Through precise, fluid control, she shapeshifts—at times human, at times otherworldly—embodying magical forms that arise from communion rather than imitation.
