UNDER | STAND is a public dialogue project where participants from diverse backgrounds engage in a collective “physical interview” process where the body emerges as a ground of connection and communication.

Using simple physical actions, participants create a compelling physical map of their lived experience as individuals and community members. Moving through stations of conversation–physical and spoken– participants see, hear, and offer multiple perspectives simultaneously, allowing the complexities of social experience to find an appropriately rich strength of expression.

Developed during a Resident Fellowship at New York University’s Center for Ballet and the Arts.
