Tocka

Tocka (toe-shka) is a multidisciplinary piece of performance art comprised of video projection, guided meditation, dance improvisation, and choreography. I generated the piece through improvisation, experimental noise music, and text written by myself and fellow collaborators who suffer with chronic illnesses. The piece uses cycles of repeating choreography, breathwork, and video to slowly build tension that mirrors the stress and discomfort that comes with the cyclical nature of chronic illness.
