Sostieni Augmented Organism

The AUGORG team, made up of interdisciplinary creatives Cy Gorman of Nurobodi (AUS) and Jazmyne Geis (Hawai’i, USA/Germany), continue to explore movement and its relationship to identity with its many developments and outcomes, connecting with landscapes, waterways, weather patterns, currents and flows involved in navigating a space— working in a relationship that is both internal with the spirit and voice of the land, and external in the global context of events (the stage) within which the land speaks. We investigate how “dance” provocatively (re)interrogates and (re)conceptualizes fundamental questions about region, nation, and location, as well as their symbolic representations. This includes studies of both emerging and preexisting creative practices and theorization. We are in consideration of issues affecting identity and geopolitics across lands and waters as well as across the global and regional— celebrating and interrogating the connecting, mediating and negotiating power of creative practices, as well as the shifting relationships and pedagogies of integrating dance, film, interdisciplinary design, and technologically creative storytelling.

Funding helps us keep our website running and available and helps us with applying to festivals to get these important messages out to the collective; through our films and research work. This work is beyond us and we are grateful to be the caretakers of these creative projects. With blessings of gratitude and thanks in our hearts <3
