Trevor on Embodiment, Erotics, & Intimacy


Trevor references the creation of new meaning through embodied interfaces, for example when Michelle and Nicole were dancing together through contact improvisation in an effort to visualize and embody an invisible disability. He understood that duet as productive of new meaning for both dancers, as well as those watching and interfacing with that performance.

“Thinking about the performance that way I think its… I was expecting more going into it of sort of what Michelle and Nicole were doing of the contact with each other, but that’s a very intimate, touching in general is a very intimate act because you are feeling what someone else feels like… it’s this interfacing… its pressure, energy… literally… it’s being transmitted in this certain way. But I don’t think that intimacy has to be physical. Differently embodied people interacting with other people -  we don’t normally see that”
