while I was homegrowing uses movement to explore a process of memory excavation as I have conversations with my father about his mother, who I never met, and seeks to unpack how her memory has become embodied in fabric and bones. I am enthralled with the process of recreating her in memories that I do not tangibly possess. The memory work unravels into a deep pool of ancestors, both living and past, that my body carries around; I ache to know these ancestors inside me, and honor them. while I was homegrowing is not narrative in a traditional sense; I am interested in watching the overlay of movement, history, and textile unfold into a living dance piece.
Choreographed, produced, and performed by Lucia Gagliardone.
This piece is dedicated to my father, Steve.
