chew & spit is a residency for St. Louis based artists that prioritizes process over product. We will chew on some concepts through a collaborative exploration of movement, text, and visual art. Then, we will spit them out, with no preconceived desires for them, through an informal sharing of our findings. This sharing is fluid in its design and will become more clear dependent on what is revealed as exciting to the group. It could be a choreographed performance, an improvisational score, a workshop, or something else entirely! This residency will explore some topics that I have been independently researching lately including unconscious embodied rituals, the choreography of the mundane, and memory based movement generation.
