A butoh-ish dance work that reflects on current cultural observations around the performance of detachment in the face of entropic surroundings. The piece draws inspiration from ig photo dumps, the "vibe shift," and that video of Lady Gaga outside Langham Hotel, while navigating concepts of viscosity, pixelation, and evacuation of meaning.

Production History:
2022 — Butoh What @ Williamsbridge Oval (NY)
2022 — A+J Summer Happenings ‘22 @ Fort Greene Park (NY)
