Distant Images features a predetermined set of episodes that can be viewed independently, out of order, or in order within a limited season. The episodic dance series weaves various modes of seriality. The episodes’ attributes obtain recurrent central characters and explore linear and non-linear narrative structure and spatiotemporal (relating to space and time) discontinuity.


What the Air Carries explores the tension between two women caught in a cycle of
connection and isolation. This piece was a recreation, restaging, and blending of two
previous works entitled Till the Wheels Fall Off and The Book of Letters, integrating
choreographic play between kinesphere approaches, attention to space, and lingering shapes.
Each woman is experiencing their own timeline and is inspired by the changing of seasons, a
woman's cycle, and the shedding of one's skin.

The Female Body and Confinement: exploring the relationship between the physical self.
How does she feel within her own skin? Is the body a source of pride, frustration,
liberation, or conflict? The female body is treated or perceived in society through the
gaze of others, the limitations of space, and the passage of time. Liberation to embrace
her body on her terms, shedding layers of societal expectations, emotional baggage, or
restrictive clothing that no longer serve her.
On Female Body Experience: Throwing Like a Girl and Other Essays
by Iris Marion Young

These episodic screendance films are inspired by the rich history of women in avant-garde cinema and dance film, and by the intersection of pop culture, mass media, and digital aesthetics.. The episodic series is also inspired by “On Throwing Like a Girl and Other Essays” by feminist philosopher Iris Marion Young. The collection explores how society and women’s experiences shape and form their physical expression. Young points to various topics and proposes a more inclusive and nuanced understanding of how individuals are shaped and how they can break free from these limitations. Young shares the importance of addressing social inequalities, the feminist perspective, and the implications for women’s lives
