Surfacing is a movement video conceived of and created by choreographer Donna Redlick, with dance interpreter Carolina Bergonzoni. The video foregrounds the body in surface-to-surface relationships to invite sensation, touch, and the proprioceptive experience as a way of ‘being in the world’ in connection to self, space, and environment.
