hi. my name is rece komorn, and i am an emerging artist working in interdisciplinary dance practice.
impossible passions activate me with their felt, deferred, and ever-burning openings. i move through a queer ontology that aims to transcend identity and unfold into a being that is porous and relational. i work with an abundance of nothing, guided by this proposition that absence is not lack but space, a spaciousness where desire might pulse into flight with no destination.
my practice is deeply research-driven, emerging in the interstices between media, misfire, gesture, and glitch. i seek to reckon with dominant logics of authorship, authority, and archival coherence. choreography becomes a unstable and looping methodology for me as i explore the body, or self, as a leaky archive that listens to what is discarded, abjected, and forgotten.
currently working in philadelphia on unceded lenape land, i organize my attention to the asymmetries of presence with what is seen and what is ommited, as well as (my/our) complicity within the machinery of spectatorship and extraction. though i am shaped by an institutional training in dance, i am interested in the lineage of my practice that emerges in the reverberations of the other: in conversations, strangers, lovers, family, the earth and sky… in all the unbounded encounters that move through and with me.
i am drawn to the frictions of shared making, and how collective processes might unfold alternative temporalities that resist the extractive logics of production, performance, and consumption. there is generative instability in activating movement as a site of social and aesthetic reimagining. i believe there is power in the ephemeral, the partial, and the untraceable, where meaning flickers, vanishes, and re-emerges otherwise. feel free to contact me here
untitled is a five-month, evening-length performance work that meditates on the aesthetics and politics of unholding, undoing, unknowing, and unwanting
situated in states of dissolution and drift, the work explores choreographic tensions and speculative futurity through collaborative improvisation, sound-based scores, and somatic research.
two drops that became the flood is a ten-minute solo choreographic work developed for a capstone to undergraduate research. Emerging from a collection of original poetry stemming from lived experience, the piece activates the body’s relationship to trauma as it ruptures and echoes.. Through a deeply personal and intimate vocabulary, the work explores the reclamation of self through movement, investigating the ways pain and memory pool together and flood.
