Join NYC-based artist zavé martohardjono for a series of dance workshops that explores our bodies’ regenerative systems and ecological resilience. Currently building a performance and sound installation called “asmr4apocalypse”, zavé is facilitating ReMAp workshops to build community with dancers and conduct choreographic research.

“asmr4apocalypse” uses sound, performance, somatic activation, and herbal ritual to prompt audiences to imagine a seemingly impervious colonial institution, the Pentagon, breaking down into its elements in future eons to compost back into the earth.

ReMAp workshops offer somatic warm ups, deep and quantum listening exercises, shaking practice, and choreographic prompts that explore composting, Deep Time, geology, regenerative natural cycles, and interspecies relationality. Activities include dance, sounding, meditation, writing, small rituals, and group reflections. Research and practices in this workshop draw from Japanese Butoh, Chinese Qi Gong, ecological science, and feminist praxis from the work of Audre Lorde and Pauline Oliveros.

​

​Interested workshop participants may be invited to a rehearsal process and in-progress performance of “asmr4apocalypse” at Vox Populi April 26, 2025.
