This new book draws out the particularities of working in twos, with a focus on collaborative performance making. The book considers the duet as a particular configuration in which to think, the duo as a microcosm of humankind, and presents everyday entanglement of form and practice seen through the lens of the smallest multiple unit. The book is co-edited by Karen Christopher and Mary Paterson, and designed by David Caines. Publication by Intellect Books is forthcoming in Autumn 2021. Contributors are David Berman, Teresa Brayshaw, Season Butler, J. R. Carpenter, Sophie Grodin, Eirini Kartsaki, Joe Kelleher, Orit Kent, Andrea Milde, Rajni Shah, Litó Walkey, David Williams and Jemima Yong. ︎︎︎ Read Text [PDF] Contribution / Publication (2021) Upcoming Publication: Intellect Books&nbsp;Autumn 2021 https://litowalkey.org/Come-here-dust-and-hair Tue, 02 Mar 2021 09:21:28 +0000 Litó Walkey https://litowalkey.org/Come-here-dust-and-hair <img width="2560" height="1708" width_o="2560" height_o="1708" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5e33789db93d3739e77a8f36bd15d10e019bf7749fc6b6eb17acb8355743c9ed/D5010823.jpg" data-mid="100855881" border="0" alt="Photo by Dieter Hartwig" data-caption="Photo by Dieter Hartwig" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5e33789db93d3739e77a8f36bd15d10e019bf7749fc6b6eb17acb8355743c9ed/D5010823.jpg" /> <img width="2560" height="1708" width_o="2560" height_o="1708" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a71326499bf210f75a0296537f43610276254b95f1dd22a00d6122d04d69d464/D5010832.jpg" data-mid="100855884" border="0" alt="Photo by Dieter Hartwig" data-caption="Photo by Dieter Hartwig" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a71326499bf210f75a0296537f43610276254b95f1dd22a00d6122d04d69d464/D5010832.jpg" /> More Documentation: <img width="2561" height="1441" width_o="2561" height_o="1441" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e23c9174b3d9f6d0ca8a81853173db9ffa4a76c2b2513e8c4f6a5eb8ef8dffba/20170406_230115.jpg" data-mid="100605809" border="0" alt="Photo by Jorge Gon&ccedil;alves" data-caption="Photo by Jorge Gonçalves" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e23c9174b3d9f6d0ca8a81853173db9ffa4a76c2b2513e8c4f6a5eb8ef8dffba/20170406_230115.jpg" /> <img width="2561" height="1441" width_o="2561" height_o="1441" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/515443f017a8383ab62c6af2b039468eb4c9414fe4600d4fb023264f5e844551/20170406_230211.jpg" data-mid="100605811" border="0" alt="Photo by Jorge Gon&ccedil;alves" data-caption="Photo by Jorge Gonçalves" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/515443f017a8383ab62c6af2b039468eb4c9414fe4600d4fb023264f5e844551/20170406_230211.jpg" /> <img width="2561" height="1441" width_o="2561" height_o="1441" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1c66c604355379e07db67e888c98faad2c4be1d27f8395c946c84e31910499ac/20170406_223853.jpg" data-mid="100605803" border="0" alt="Photo by Jorge Gon&ccedil;alves" data-caption="Photo by Jorge Gonçalves" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1c66c604355379e07db67e888c98faad2c4be1d27f8395c946c84e31910499ac/20170406_223853.jpg" /> <img width="2561" height="1441" width_o="2561" height_o="1441" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bc918e417b08c3ae419eec26e226897558dd6990a910dc1ae0bbfaa938aac6f5/20170406_224434.jpg" data-mid="100605806" border="0" alt="Photo by Jorge Gon&ccedil;alves" data-caption="Photo by Jorge Gonçalves" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bc918e417b08c3ae419eec26e226897558dd6990a910dc1ae0bbfaa938aac6f5/20170406_224434.jpg" /> <img width="2561" height="1441" width_o="2561" height_o="1441" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/461de482d2ed316db2cc2ab83c99eeeeed2ecf818ddcf7a1cb6552164e08a749/20170406_230339.jpg" data-mid="100605813" border="0" alt="Photo by Jorge Gon&ccedil;alves" data-caption="Photo by Jorge Gonçalves" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/461de482d2ed316db2cc2ab83c99eeeeed2ecf818ddcf7a1cb6552164e08a749/20170406_230339.jpg" /> <img width="2561" height="1441" width_o="2561" height_o="1441" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b66e7554166f1cf97e6ca0afe258ac92873842f68b259a277a7f6d0bfccd756e/20170406_230339.jpg" data-mid="100943881" border="0" alt="Photo by Dieter Hartwig" data-caption="Photo by Dieter Hartwig" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b66e7554166f1cf97e6ca0afe258ac92873842f68b259a277a7f6d0bfccd756e/20170406_230339.jpg" /> Come here dust and hair The imaginative space between a piece of language and an intersection of commonly overlooked details in the environment is treated like a strange object that opens a distinct process of observation. Acting as both host and instigator, Litó Walkey continues to deal with the generative space among memory, presence and collective thinking. The audience is made complicit in a site of attention qualified by more than a single identifiable subject. Multiple intervals of return in alternating presentational modes foreground the co inhabitation of temporal, acoustic, spacial, physical and associative debris. This work is rooted in an ongoing practice of creating language and movement events through strategies of collaboration, proliferation and translation. The performance is set in the almost-dark, similar to a concert. A single performer retells encounters and observations that took place at a different time, in a different place. The performed script and revisited memories refer to the language that was created with people and details who are not visible anymore. ︎︎︎ Articulations from the process [PDF] Performance (2018) Presentations: Fylkingen Stockholm, 22 September 2018 Tanznacht Berlin Tanzfabrik Berlin, 15 August 2018 Mezzanine Artistic Practice Symposium&nbsp;

Taking the notebook as a site of experimentation, two or three artists develop circular exchanges over an extended period of time. The project engages in practices of correspondence, speech, writing, collage and composition to create the book entries; strategies for devising structures to rotate the book amongst the authors; feedback sessions to reflect on the process; and considerations for how these processes may be exposed or published to a public.

 The multiple unfoldings of these collaborations operate beyond the notion of the subject, emphasizing the intersubjective and transindividual. They attend to intricate and intimate processes that inform, pass through and index thought and mechanisms of working, looking away from modes of authorship and towards methodologies of sharing and exchange. Litó Walkey, Asaf Aharonson and Gretchen Blegen co-created two circulating books, negotiating book deliveries and micro performative exchanges with over thirty accomplices in public and private locations across the city of Berlin, TelAviv and Vancouver. The project also developed as a year-long free-standing course supported by the Dance Department of Stockholm University of the Arts and MDT in Stockholm. Participating artists were Elise Nuding, Kajsa Wadhia, Unn Faleide, Kajsa Sandström, Oda Brekke, Sofia Romberg, Olivia Riviere, Alice Macenzie, Alexander Talts, Anna Pehrsson, Klara Utka Acs, Maia Means, Sara Kaaman, Siriol Joyner, Max Wallmeier, Pavle Heidler, Ivar Christenson and André Soares. Tove Salmgren and Bronwyn Bailey-Charteris contributed as visiting artists.

Words are carefully composed to both respond to components of the world as well as to suggest towards possible (performative) responses. Building on lateral and divergent attention, the practice prolongs and transforms the critical attention of assembled elements into an invitation. This invitation calls for a circuit of response and reformulation. The writings invite an engagement and set constructive constraints by suggesting a re-routing, re-ordering and re-connecting with the material in the composition. New formulations of activity can work closely with each other without being bound to any preconceived steps, shapes, or patterns. As intermediate devices, these written constructions support collaboration, translation, and proliferation by inserting a disruptive wedge to resist authorship's potential fortification, intention, representation, or hierarchy of meaning. This practice was pivotal to Litó Walkey’s Where’s the rest of me? MA Choreography research (2011-2013) and contributes to subsequent artistic, pedagogic, curatorial and publication projects. The self-published book is a collection of Performance Directives that developed from a writing commission for the What If... Festival at Siobhan Davies Studios in London and an artistic residency and laboratory at Fabrik Potsdam. The directives have been written by Litó Walkey and residency/lab participants Lucy Cash, Jeanine Durning, Lisa Densem, Thiago Granato, Eduard Mont de Palol, Lina Lindheimer, Andrea Keiz, Zoe Knights, Nils Ulber and Sybille Müller. Karen Christopher and Litó Walkey’s presentation and workshop Double translations: telling another way to tell was devised through a correspondence and performance process based on performance directives.

It favors the instability of the drawing board, supposing to find the radical and creative therein. Continuing with the practice of Performance Directives and Where’s the rest of me?, this work articulates and re-articulates choreography through its ongoing relation to a sensed, remembered, or visible palimpsest. Formulated by multiple human and non-human entities, this palimpsest carries memories of written, physical, spacial and oral gestures. We carry our individual and collective memories and scripts close. We engage the impossibility of complete accuracy while applying our best attempts. We wear our nerves on the outside of our skin. We dare to contradict ourselves and each other. We expose full certainty and full uncertainty, sometimes simultaneously. While overloading our momentary attentions and intentions, we are coming to terms with the ungraspable present and celebrating its passage. Stockholm-based Weld Company commissioned Litó Walkey as one of their first choreographers to work with the dance company. The initial work was performed by Marie Fahlin, Noah Hellwig, Sandra Lolax, Sybrig Dokter, Robin Dingemans and Kajsa Sandström with costumes designed by Erik Annerborn and lights by Anton Andersson. Following performances have included the company’s growing constellation of dancers and been presented nationally and internationally. A durational version extended for two hours with Caroline Byström, Per Sacklén, Anna Westberg, Sybrig Dokter, Robin Dingemans, Marie Fahlin, Sandra Lolax, Noah Hellwig, Disa Krosness, Hanna Strandberg and Robert Malmborg, and a post-show talk with Tove Salmgren and Anders Paulin. As part of their development of what a dance company can be and do today, Weld Company has also adapted the work for non-traditional dance contexts. aswebegin has ‘para-sited' exhisiting structures, such as Rönnells Antikvariat Bookstore in Stockholm. The publication No Talking No Props has been released by Weld Company on a yearly basis as an extension of the company and contains contributions from Swedish and International artists and participating dancers and choreographers. ︎︎︎ Text by Litó Walkey [PDF] ︎︎︎ Text by Anne Schuh&nbsp;[PDF] Dance / Performance (2013) Presentations: Marabouparken konsthall, Stockholm, 20 March 2021 Rönnells Antikvariat, Stockholm, 10 January 2020 Weld, Stockholm, 15 December 2017 Skogen, Gothenburg, 13 February 2016 Dock 11, Berlin, 5-6 February 2016 Weld, Stockholm, 27 April 2014 No Talking No Props Publication release, April 2014 Amsterdam School of the Arts, 11 December 2013 Weld, Stockholm, 8 December 2013 (premiere) https://litowalkey.org/As-If-It-s-Just-About-To-Happen Sat, 27 Feb 2021 12:11:18 +0000 Litó Walkey https://litowalkey.org/As-If-It-s-Just-About-To-Happen <img width="1748" height="2480" width_o="1748" height_o="2480" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/64df5c4c7508c56ca046cd220258f8b37d1ad172aa4c479c725de57b150112f8/As-if-its-about-Book1.png" data-mid="100315531" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/64df5c4c7508c56ca046cd220258f8b37d1ad172aa4c479c725de57b150112f8/As-if-its-about-Book1.png" /> <img width="2360" height="1190" width_o="2360" height_o="1190" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5c63efa6d9b60cab48f5a0a5b914c0f191850d9d3072ca2aaa7e0ff99dae6afb/cover_see_imagine_do.png" data-mid="100342089" border="0" data-scale="100" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5c63efa6d9b60cab48f5a0a5b914c0f191850d9d3072ca2aaa7e0ff99dae6afb/cover_see_imagine_do.png" /> <img width="3264" height="2448" width_o="3264" height_o="2448" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c7b63de46b3afcbee4af745748a7b0c245d64eb16be909004598955b1d2d8666/Book1-2StructureDrawing2.jpg" data-mid="100342720" border="0" alt="Photo by Patrick Pagel" data-caption="Photo by Patrick Pagel" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c7b63de46b3afcbee4af745748a7b0c245d64eb16be909004598955b1d2d8666/Book1-2StructureDrawing2.jpg" /> More Documentation: <img width="3264" height="2448" width_o="3264" height_o="2448" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ab152b7415485f7a5ad46484eaae5f35e0d2449fffc9c93224dcc306f5df1c44/IMG_3152.JPG" data-mid="100342378" border="0" alt="Photo by Uta Neumann" data-caption="Photo by Uta Neumann" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ab152b7415485f7a5ad46484eaae5f35e0d2449fffc9c93224dcc306f5df1c44/IMG_3152.JPG" /> <img width="3264" height="2448" width_o="3264" height_o="2448" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/53d7919dd648ee75eabe3e215b2da9091eb47e6115e2b3ceb90c1de2aed50113/IMG_3189.JPG" data-mid="100342379" border="0" alt="Photo by Uta Neumann" data-caption="Photo by Uta Neumann" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/53d7919dd648ee75eabe3e215b2da9091eb47e6115e2b3ceb90c1de2aed50113/IMG_3189.JPG" /> <img width="3264" height="2448" width_o="3264" height_o="2448" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c16b9a7308eb7ac5110e4f62df760fd2727e36d289801df6df9a582e70f95c6b/As-If-Its-Just-About.JPG" data-mid="100315532" border="0" alt="Photo by Uta Neumann" data-caption="Photo by Uta Neumann" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c16b9a7308eb7ac5110e4f62df760fd2727e36d289801df6df9a582e70f95c6b/As-If-Its-Just-About.JPG" /> <img width="3264" height="2448" width_o="3264" height_o="2448" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c72c8adf541d00b3e6d90bb540b7a02e0b61ed4cbb3d851b89085414626a14e6/IMG_3159.JPG" data-mid="100342098" border="0" alt="Photo by Uta Neumann" data-caption="Photo by Uta Neumann" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c72c8adf541d00b3e6d90bb540b7a02e0b61ed4cbb3d851b89085414626a14e6/IMG_3159.JPG" /> <img width="3264" height="2448" width_o="3264" height_o="2448" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e6a0d4c8f3567fd6d8aca12bc160291cd1ae6ddecfd77a2388f6830080d2edf5/IMG_3153.JPG" data-mid="100342099" border="0" alt="Photo by Uta Neumann" data-caption="Photo by Uta Neumann" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e6a0d4c8f3567fd6d8aca12bc160291cd1ae6ddecfd77a2388f6830080d2edf5/IMG_3153.JPG" /> <img width="3264" height="2448" width_o="3264" height_o="2448" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7df9c97236e2d833967f0ffb270b858956c6d2ff0ab543d38f74931259fc98c6/IMG_3183.JPG" data-mid="100342096" border="0" alt="Photo by Uta Neumann" data-caption="Photo by Uta Neumann" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7df9c97236e2d833967f0ffb270b858956c6d2ff0ab543d38f74931259fc98c6/IMG_3183.JPG" /> As If It’s Just About To Happen To access what persists in the entanglement of artistic and pedagogic practices, this project returns to four workshops, facilitated within HZT (Inter-Universtiy Center for Dance Berlin) BA Dance, Context, Choreography programme between 2014–2016, with the question “What was and is it doing and what can we create with it now?” &nbsp; Initial experiences, notes and memories from the workshops were approached with a strategy of interruption - a structure of excerpts, footnotes, invitations and responses - that produced a new order of connections based on selectivity, discontinuity and proliferation. Readers are encouraged to be involved with the passages of writings and drawings within the books—to follow, skip across, take apart, expand, reassemble, rewrite and respond further. To experience what is still creating itself, as if it’s just about to happen. &nbsp;&nbsp; The series of four books was initiated and directed by Litó Walkey, and published by HZT&nbsp; Berlin. Core writers Florian Feigl, Sheena Mcgrandles, Litó Walkey and Britta Wirthmuller were joined by HZT students and alumni, guest artists and illustrations by Tabea Xenia Magyar.

For this collaboration Biliana Voutchkova, Michael Thieke, Gretchen Blegen and Litó Walkey translate the visual concept of blurriness into sonic, somatic and spacial forms. The edges between past, present, reoccurring and spontaneous grow vague, and the performance exposes tactile textures of density. &nbsp; Commissioned by Sounddance Festival Berlin, this work developed from two ongoing projects: The Blurred Music Project by violinist Biliana Voutchkova and clarinetist Michael Thieke composes pieces where their own recordings intermittently appear and are almost identically duplicated by the live performance; and The Circulating Book Project by interdisciplinary artists Asaf Aharonson, Gretchen Blegen and Litó Walkey that circulates exchanges of correspondence, speech, writing, collage and composition over an extended period of time to co-create the book entries.

close to us, visible as they are (and were) in the moment and in movement. A migratory process of viewing, naming, showing, in partnership with others, extracts gestures that re­route and re­center our natural trajectories of attention. This work is an experiment in applying associative liberties of accumulation, juxtaposition and the organizing possibilities of metaphor. Clusters of narrative nerves appear and disappear as the material of memory traces. Alternating between touching sideways, showing somewhere, and pointing to more than the end of itself. What's close at hand can once again be strange, multiple and unfamiliar, worthy of examination and ultimately, kindness. Litó Walkey’s A round shadow with three points develops analytically as choreography almost without dance. A study and organization of a meta movement: the movement here, in an expanded understanding of what dance can be, is the dialogue, the relation and the construction of this group. It is an imaginarium whose negotiation becomes the patrimony of its polyphonic cohesion. The dance, when it appears here, is itself almost theatrical, as a quote. The structural movement of this piece is not so much in the small dances that are mentioned during it, but in the braiding of the progressive relation between the performers and their interdependence in the support of a collective imaginarium and its administration, writing and tracing. - Dinis Machado, Performer, Choreographer, Curator, Stockholm Curated by Dinis Machado, Ballet Contemporâneo do Norte commissioned Litó Walkey to create this choreography with Jorge Gonçalves, Dinis Machado and Susana Otero. The creation took place at Imaginarius Centro de Criação with a performance at Cineteatro Antonio Lamoso, Santa Maria da Feira ︎︎︎ Read Text [PDF] Dance / Performance (2017) Publication: Dédalo Architecture Magazine, University of Porto, 7 December 2017 Presentation: Cineteatro Antonio Lamoso Santa Maria da Feira, 29 September 2017 https://litowalkey.org/Where-s-the-rest-of-me Wed, 24 Feb 2021 13:26:12 +0000 Litó Walkey https://litowalkey.org/Where-s-the-rest-of-me <img width="1024" height="1622" width_o="1024" height_o="1622" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4b3cba11cabc3d674077f8c72da0ceea6de2003a88b84bd5179eccaae149f809/WtRoM07.jpg" data-mid="100332714" border="0" alt="Photo by " data-caption="Photo by " src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4b3cba11cabc3d674077f8c72da0ceea6de2003a88b84bd5179eccaae149f809/WtRoM07.jpg" /> <img width="2560" height="1653" width_o="2560" height_o="1653" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/077bd63240b461103c2bff3958453a109d7d8917072dc6e7f4ff7d7da413f106/WtRoM05.jpg" data-mid="100332713" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/077bd63240b461103c2bff3958453a109d7d8917072dc6e7f4ff7d7da413f106/WtRoM05.jpg" /> More Documentation: <img width="2560" height="1362" width_o="2560" height_o="1362" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9cd26f0fdb42af2a2632b0ea582ff72e728435d41ad42ea6bb47a4fc62b5d2a8/WtRoM01.jpg" data-mid="100332710" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9cd26f0fdb42af2a2632b0ea582ff72e728435d41ad42ea6bb47a4fc62b5d2a8/WtRoM01.jpg" /> <img width="2560" height="1355" width_o="2560" height_o="1355" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/24ac5081b69341d8c798958979d7a75d90d9642cc50627cfb719b1b2e3ef17a6/WtRoM02.jpg" data-mid="100332711" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/24ac5081b69341d8c798958979d7a75d90d9642cc50627cfb719b1b2e3ef17a6/WtRoM02.jpg" /> <img width="2560" height="1326" width_o="2560" height_o="1326" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4fa2bab3e14eb12402d83e7cac789626fbbf4b575e546794b13355263c982766/WtRoM11.jpg" data-mid="100332715" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4fa2bab3e14eb12402d83e7cac789626fbbf4b575e546794b13355263c982766/WtRoM11.jpg" /> Where’s the rest of me? As a public exhibition and solo performance, Where’s the rest of me? explores notions of fidelity and self portraiture through collective operations of distancing, concealment, removal and reversal. Written directives, spoken plans, gestures, private comments, voice recordings, and spacial articulations construct a series of activations performed in proximity to each other at makeshift locations around a table, close to the audience, next to a pile of papers and standing on a chair. Similar to a holographic experience that retains light fields of past images, Where’s the rest of me? builds itself as a live assemblage of past and future iterations. The exhibition and performance move between what is prepared, anticipated, actual, accidental and remembered. The fragile dynamics of discovery in the creative process and the virtuosity of prepared compositions are brought closer together, exceeding our habitual trajectories of attention and enabling less prescribed encounters to occur. Where's the rest of me? was developed during Walkey's research in the MA Choreography at the Amsterdam Universtiy of the Arts, supported by staff, colleagues and mentors Myriam van Imschoot and Jeanine Durning. The performance material was developed with a cohort of students from the MA SODA (Solo Dance Authorship) at HZT Inter-University Center for Dance Berlin.Litó created a sense of timelessness and placelessness in her work; we were left wondering when the piece would start and where it would take place. However, without fully realizing it, we were already active participants in the work, engaged with Litó's questioning the boundaries between performer and spectator, beginning and end; we were awaiting something that in fact had already begun. Further underlined when she followed along to her own prerecorded voice, reformulating and remediating her speech, and barely keeping up with her scripted words, it became clear that Litó was engaging the audience with multiple disruptions of place and speech, pointing us to ponder even further the separation between performer and self, and performer and audience. - Dr. Erin La Cour, Assistant Professor, Humanities and Literature, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam Walkey practices an experiential approach to the principal that it’s through the doing of something that we understand what is being done. By preempting readiness or predetermined acts, Where’s the rest of me? heightens states of attention and presence, always aware of the performed act as something that is shared in the moment of doing, between audience and performer. Acting as both host and instigator, Walkey’s emphasis in the work is neither on the origin or the goal but on being present to the social situation and the codes that accompany that. She continually disrupts the audience’s expectation of eventfulness, or singular meanings by never completely fulfilling her own “script.” By decidedly omitting materials, or by framing or literally covering parts of her body, she is a self that is continually reinvented or erased and remade. As audience, or invitees, we are made complicit in this unique unfolding of a process, practice and performance. - Jeanine Durning, Performer and Choreographer, New York Photos by J.P. von Popta ︎︎︎Standing Apart&nbsp; Essay by Litó Walkey [PDF] ︎︎︎Response by Erin La Cour [PDF] Dance / Performance / Exhibition (2012) Upcoming Presentations: Tanzfabrik Berlin, 29 April 2021 Molekyl Gallery Malmö, 12-21 May 2021 Presentations: Stockholm University of the Arts, 17 October 2013 Veem House of Performance Amsterdam, 26 May 2013 OpenSpaces, Tanzfabrik Berlin, 17 April 2013 PianoFabrik Brussels, 7 November 2012
