Five Skandhas

Five Skandhas (2023) is a performance work that moves through the rhythms of attachment to and relinquishment of the five skandhas, or the aggregates of body and mind in Buddhist thought. Through choreographed movement, electronic music, and interactive theatrical visuals, the work creates a feedback system in which each element becomes the input for the others through motion capture and audio signals. In doing so, it gives sensorial form to the unstable processes through which perception, emotion, and consciousness arise and dissolve.
