This is Episode 18 with Sara Smith a transdisciplinary choreographer and librarian. Sara creates speculative-documentary performances and other works that explore interconnection and the poetics and politics of embodied and archival research. Their working process is rooted in physical practices of micro-attention and transformation. Their work has been seen and heard at venues throughout the US. They are the recipient of a Mass Cultural Council Fellowship in Choreography and support from numerous other prestigious institutions as well as residency fellowship from McDowell, Yaddo and more. This is a conversation about building a spiritual cosmology, spiritual activism and the writing and influence of Gloria Anzalduá. This is a conversation about being aware of the limitations of our internal systems and how they impact the way in which we view the world. It's a conversation about their project In Network Time, Octopuses, and world building for the future, but also for NOW as we think about the future and how to live more embodied and interconnected.
