Statement

Übergang / transition[s]
Übergang is the German word for “transition.” The piece speaks to trauma & how intensity of emotion can take over the internal body & brain. On a physiological level we log the data that emotion imprints. The process of healing must be a holistic transition of body, mind & soul. Throughout the piece, subtle scales of gradient light will amplify the spectra of new neural pathways in the brain, negative to positive. These progressions of light will work to punctuate the external movement dialogue within the group which informs the emotional body through mechanisms of posture, expression, touch & togetherness. Übergang speaks greatly to the capacity of the body to re-wire learned systems, and thus the capacity for healing.
