In this artist share, lu will speak about their performance work through treacherous locations and phenomena, from the Korean DMZ to the language of repetition and representation. They will refigure their dance-based performance work Form I (2022) and their film short Pieces of Earth We Eat (2023), two very different works that explore persistence as an expression of survival, one through an embodied movement practice, and the other through experimental theater and filmmaking. Through these short works, they will talk about utilizing pain and recovery as a guide for creating, and also how fueling their movement and writing practice have become an integral project for navigating fear, paranoia, and doubt, over these past few years.
