the opening of pangea

“the opening of pangea” was developed just before the pandemic and is related to my research into prehistory and extinctions. Pangea was a vast desert that split open due to volcanic activity, causing the largest mass extinction event in history, but making way for new life to grow upon its fresh shores. The queer body is another site of transformation - how do we learn from this ancient story? How can it instruct or heal us? 

When I practice this score I lay on the ground and stay in one place.
