During , I, Helen Kindred and some fellow dancers (forming DancingStrong Movement Lab Company) moved across the sand at the river’s edge, while fine artists (including Andrew Hinton, Mary Rodriguez and Nina Anderson) moved across paper, drawing us using elements from the shore (the sandy sludge, charcoal from burnt beach debris, and water). In the moment of dance, the marks of our movements (such as on sand or on paper) offered a documentation of the somatic experience of . I suggest the collaboration of raises possibilities for, and further questions about, documenting and languaging the embodied.
