Every Lines the same

Routine, repetition, and women.

This outdoor dance installation explores functional movement and 'women's work.' This work invites appreciation for the significance of everyday movements.

This outdoor dance installation delves into the concept of functional movement while examining the historical perceptions surrounding what has been labeled as 'women's work.'

 

It invites viewers to reflect on how repetitive and meditative actions—such as folding, lifting, and hanging—become ingrained in our bodies, transforming into instinctual movements that are inevitably passed down to others. This cycle of movement only connects generations but also highlights the significance of these actions in our daily lives.

 

The installation places a strong emphasis on the maternal and soothing qualities inherent in repetitive tasks that have traditionally been associated with feminine roles, including sewing, crafting, cleaning, and cooking. By exploring how these jobs are ritualized, the work reveals their often meditative nature and the way they foster connection and community. Through the simple act of performing these tasks and being observed, the installation showcases how these practices are shared and transmitted, creating a rich tapestry of movement and memory that resonates across time and space.
