Body Memories is an interactive performance, extension of the artist’s 2021 work “Body Memory,” in partnership with Althea Dance Company, founded by Thea Bautista. Inspired by Bautista and Bensahel’s multi-cultural experiences marked by migration, Body Memories is a three-person dance piece that considers the coexistence of many narratives, cultures, and melodies within a single body, sometimes in frictional ways. Using conductive-yarn embroidery, each dancer can trigger sounds that vary according to the areas of the body touched. These gestures are connected to a computer system that spatializes the sounds. Visual and auditory narratives thus unfold, between bodies and continents.
