I am on a bodily quest as a dancer to encounter my body as a strange object. I sink into the queer body; queering the body, how am I, how is the body that is me? Who is really looking at me when I look at myself? How do I position myself in different spaces and contexts, both physically and mentally? What policies manifest in my bodily being?
How can I queer the body, my body, to myself?
Corpus? is an invitation, a request, for the dancer and to others to meet the body as a new, unfamiliar concept. Developing the practice of distancing oneself from the body, while still maintaining its immediacy and closeness.
The politics of the queer body is an omnipresent issue, hence a central theme in all Ruu’s work🌬️🩵
