What might the movement of ink embody?

(il)legible inkscription explores the palimpsest accumulation of language on the bodies of participants. Drawing from print techniques and choreographic practice, the project animates ink, transforming texts by transmitting, transferring, translating, transposing, and transforming them across mobile, malleable surfaces. Through improvised movement scores, the convergence of these practices is explored, creating an expanded understanding of thinking through ink. Concrete poetry forms with foam letters dipped in ink, making language an active participant in the visual landscape. Audiences will be invited to create letters, words, and sentences and press these onto cheesecloth and performers’ skin.
