Immersive, multi-day geographies
designed for deep presence.
Residencies are the primary stage for our work—the site where somatic, ritual, and narrative practices converge.
By entering a dedicated geography, we create the distance necessary to view our internal and external landscapes with new clarity.
Our residencies are built on a three-part architecture to move us from individuals to a collective
ISOLATION
Moving away from the familiar to quiet the
nervous system and heighten sensory awareness.
IMMERSION
Engaging with the local rhythm, climate,
and site-specific movement of a new landscape.
EMBODIMENT
Creating the rituals and narratives needed to
carry the geography of presence into the everyday.
The Morocco Residency | Oct 20 - 27
-
A curated 8-day immersion designed to slow the pace and heighten the senses. From the sensory depths of the Red City to the vast silence of the stone desert and the salt-air rhythm of the Atlantic coast, we move with intention. This geography is designed to bridge the distance between the environments we inhabit and our internal landscapes.
-
Marrakech | The Softening. We begin in the vibrant energy of the ancient medinas. Here, we ground our nervous systems in the rhythmic textures of the city, using site-specific movement to transition into a state of deep presence.
Agafay Desert | The Stillness. We move to the expansive silence of the stone desert. In this landscape, we utilize the "Internal Mic" to release the noise of the everyday and listen to the narratives that emerge in total stillness.
Essaouira | The Integration. We conclude on the artistic coast. Through choreographed rituals and the communal table, we practice the art of belonging—translating the geography of the residency into a sustainable social practice.
-
Throughout the 8 days, we engage in a deliberate architectural pause. We dedicate ourselves to the structural work of grounding in the unique rhythm, climate, and energy of Morocco to expand the capacity of the social body.
"Our work is built on a primary truth: when we move, eat, and share our stories with intention, we repair the social fabric."
