[____procession____] proposes that hyper-personal drives can become codified movement processes, “queering” the formal qualities of choreography so that it’s no longer a system of significatory coordinates, but rather a system of undoing. Interweaving the communicative power of a body and the political power of movement, [____procession____] ruptures the social rubrics that reduce a person to what they appear to be, revealing a more vital question: what can we be together?
