bones fragile bones fractured is an hour-long performance work using movement and live vocal looping to explore themes of care, lineage, and physical memory. We consider objects as support, probing what it means to tend to someone else or one's own body. Throughout the course of this piece, we build and undo our visual environment of cords, bubble wrap, mics, a loop pedal, and gauze. Our layered vocalizations interspersed with live and recorded text become the sonic landscape through which we interact. Microphones and cords attach to our bodies (and the body of the space) like extra organs; at one point we pass our heart—a pedal—between us. All the while our bones remain delicate, as if wrapped in styrofoam and labeled, handle with care.
