EXCAVATE BODY is a performance and visual arts project founded and directed by Jacqui Hinkson. EXCAVATE BODY is interested in digging away at what is possible, probable, and true.
Utilizing contemporary dance movement, imagery and motifs, visual art elements, and saturated processes of exploring our internal states and drives, EXCAVATE BODY produces work for communal contemplation — not intending to arrive at defined destinations, but laying the ground for further investigation through the viewer with consideration for their own internal mechanisms and humanity.
Tying itself to the unknown, spontaneity, complexity, and the inevitability of change, EXCAVATE BODY seeks to exist in the deep end — digging, searching, uncovering, and making meaning, again and again.
