Symposium Session: Lineage + Rupture + Return

This session explores contemporary modes of embodied research. Timothy Tsang’s participatory approach invites movers of all backgrounds to explore waves, circles, and spirals as both technical pathways and cultural metaphors through his porous, transnational practice shaped by cultural lineage, adaptation, and exchange. At the intersection of lens media and performance, bree gant shares their inquiries and methodology rooted in American Modern Dance pioneer Katherine Dunham technique and pedagogy, to articulate how filmmaking is a uniquely suited methodology for researching embodied knowledge.
