Synopsis

"Sensing (i)dentity" was produced in Jewel Theatre, Center for the Arts, Luther College, May 2022. Video conceived and edited by Jay Raabe, photographer, designer, and Multimedia Lead at Luther College Information & Technology Services.


When movement vocabulary for dance-making is internally sourced through the body as the primary source along with the rehearsal process and publication through performing, dancers confront the ever-present opportunities for practicing self-care, developing selfhood, and understanding self-agency.


Movement Fundamentals, as the movement methodology for creating "Sensing (i)dentity" recognizes the “sense” and “felt” experiences of the dancers’ past and present as materiality for dance-making while prescribing the body and lived experience as art. "Sensing (i)dentity" practices with acknowledgment and without judgment, inviting curiosity and empathy as essential components to the creative process and performing well-being.
