who is allowed to fall
9/1/2025
Abstract
who is allowed to fall asks in the language of dance how we attend to one another in moments of crisis and everyday life. Through harp, story, step dance and conversation the project translates research on place, power and time into public dialogue you can listen to, witness and practice.
Overview
- Podcast (coming soon) — episodes that read current events through the languages of dance and sound, with harp/step interludes.
- Live events — performance–conversations that bring research into the room and invite audience response.
- Notes — short reflections, prompts, and sources tied to episodes or events in a blog on this site.
Methods
- Attention protocols (listening, interruption, repair)
- Score-based conversation and step/harp annotations
- Walking interviews and site-responsive performance
- Field notes, transcripts, and open bibliographies
