Dermatomes

Thoughts on skin

This massive sensory network. Interconnected, innervated and
inveinerated system of information transferrence.

When our skin revolts, our nerves inflame, we find out the depth of
sensation we are capable of. The burning, itching, aching, heavy,
tearing, stabbing, electric energy that shocks through in waves.

There must be a way to translate these impulses into motion,
movements. The life of our skin is the life of our generally unseen
interface with the world. Our clothes, the wind, friendly embraces,
and warm caresses fill our brains and nervous system with information
that goes largely unprocessed. This is the information I want to
interpret and reprocess into dance.
