"There are many stories, and the universe lives them all."
- Stephen Hawking.

At the heart of this project is a desire to research how our bodies store coded, storied information, be it in our brains, muscles, or how we move or interact—and how this information can be explored and developed through physical and vocal practices. How do we deal with the liminal or imperceptible structures that define how we experience the world? What role does the body play in confronting the unknown? Stories and histories settle in our genes and in regions of our brains – collective traumas and ‘old knowledge’ are genetically anchored and physically present in our brain cells.

By working with a team of people whose practices have been shaped by diverse cultures and disciplines, Julia Maria Koch and Alwynne Pritchard will draw the project together from a wide scope of conceptual approaches, (ritual), bodily practices, musics and stories.
