Corpus – Can We Just Dance?
queer as process
queering process
cross-disciplinary dance making
to be intimate within distance
creative intimacy
personal intimacy
Duo I: With Emily
momentary encounters
spontaneous regularities,
surfaced kinesthesia.
Duo III: With Amber
recalling streams,
finding moments of simplicity,
detangling layers.
Duo II: With Mert
overseas circularity,
knowing without understanding,
desire runs.
Duo IV: With Yeşim
crossing pathways,
refinding language,
attraction of the opposites.

Corpus Can We Just Dance? will be the project name under which I will collect my future collaborative works. I thank and extend my gratitude, in advance, to all the artists with whom I will engage in creation.
