Dusk Dog Film (2026)
This film documents the arrival, hunt, and dissolve of two creatures amidst the dunes. Filmed by Stepan Liubimov featuring Robyn Wong Min Xuan and Eilish Henderson.
Dusk Dog Solo (2026)
Dusk dog is a butoh work that awakens the feral world of creatures in the wilderness. Waiting, sleeping, hunting, birth, disease, suffering and death are opened as passages that signal realities that humans have distanced themselves from as we evolve into states that bypass brutality, hardship, and the most honest elements of existence on the earth.
CHIMAERA (2026) by SHADOWSWELL + OSCAR SUH-RODRIGUEZ
The title is representative of a third corporeal spirit that is conjured when we meet in dance–part phantom, part demon, ashen, soot-footed and honey-skinned.
Pariahs of the Void (2025) by SHADOWSWELL
“Pariahs of the Void” choreographed by Eilish Henderson investigates the social, spiritual, and political underpinnings of punk. The work evokes the catharsis of movement in punk music scenes, release, freedom, and balancing inner turmoil with external openness. Punk elicits a transformative, dreamlike macrocosm created at live shows, where bodies merge and dissolve in a cyclical wave bound by a ceaseless pulse. This work underscores the necessity of presence and care while touching on notions of aggression, fear, violence, and exclusion.
Garden of Ruins (2024) by SHADOWSWELL
Garden of Ruins is a butoh duet grounded in eco-somatics and sapphic intimacy as a perceptive, eternal, glistening web. Connected to systems of rebirth, two infinite bodies build, merge, float, and dissipate as they journey to an unspoken world and return to soil.
To Unfold and Hold (2023)
This work investigates the poetics of intimacy, tenderness, and unspoken words between women.
Dune Dwells (2023)
This interdisciplinary project researches the landscape of dunes and sea on the National Seashore of Provincetown. The work lives through film, images, and poetry that capture the week of life isolated from the world in a remote dune shack.
Mudwound (2023)
A reorientation, interpretation, and empathetic response to the position of creatures and life in the mud.
Relic of Ritual and Rot (2023)
This interdisciplinary installation and live performance examines our decaying relationship with nature. Developed through daily practices of writing, drawing, movement poems, and site specific improvisation, this work unravels ritual as translation and metaphor, a transformative process to rebirth identity and connection.
swallow the fly (2022)
"swallow the fly" is deeply rooted in the dark underbelly of humans. Digging into the feeling of collective lostness in society, aimlessness, apathy, and how we manipulate others to cope, the movement transports and disorients. What lasts for longer than one might like, and what fades before it can be held onto? What feelings do we shy away from? What do we hide?
fragments of... (2022)
Based on the notion of a "self portrait", this work examines how we are only known to ourselves-how we are perceived by others is ultimately an incomplete fragment and projection. Audience members interpret pieces of my writing and place the words on me during the end of the performance to represent the notion that our image of ourselves is ultimately deeply tied to others.
