teething is dedicated to melting bones and dancer's rights and agency in choreographic process. How to work with an immaterial medium such as dance in the context of capitalist ownership? The work explores immaterial ownership and dances psychodramatic poetry where corporeality dances in and out of the body.
teething
chest bone is not a one thing
but bone dust from a great height
ready to burn the museum to the ground
and throw up the melted insides out
the grass is teething
they can suck your fingers until they fall off and swallow them and
shit them out
i hope you buy oysters
but it doesn’t matter because after all
everything you ever wished was a lexicon. that means that the
language is a companionship, a lid, and the room is the area between
the four lines.
four lines was the best of times, meaning:
until the butter pours out from your pores.
