Me and @alainawilsondance were a ball of sweat, sunscreen and bug spray, filming with @show.me___ in the middle of a field in the hot sun in June, and I wouldn’t take it any other way #extremechoreography
Tuning into my deep jointed self.....these joints man. They have secret messages of great importance that I can’t really understand.
Lol. Joint whisperers of the world let’s chat ⚙️🦾👩🔧

Claire deLaszlo's affair with video started with a close reading of the dance festival guelaguetza toward her honors thesis in decolonial anthropology. Having recovered from an earth-shattering breakup with classical ballet, Claire and video have been going steady for five years in a happy partnership grounded in social study, visual listening, and community building. Claire and video are currently based in Brooklyn and available for hire.

Emma King: I am a person in flux like us all. I was lucky enough to provide costume/sculpture support for Maranda and friends on this beautiful project. I was inspired by Maranda’s overarching theme of dreamworlds to consider how my inner world has become muddied by the media detritus I am inundated with everyday, all within the context of environmental and political terror. To create art with peers was a reminder that we are still here and that our ability to feel is what we have in common and that art can give us wings.
