“My name is Liza Liebling (LIE-za LEEB-ling), and I am ready to be Known.
I am a Visionary and a Voice.
I connect people, skills and ideas.
I connect to the Revolutionary Universe through disciplines of pleasure – art, perversion, joy.
I build webs of resilient care in fractal symphony.
I model compelling possibility.
I invoke change.
I am the sum of my ancestries of Resistance.
I am a vessel for our Reckoning.
I am built for this storm.”

“These words would love a chance to stretch their legs.” And they will.

This doctoral research project by our member Aby Watson, critically interrogates solo choreography and performance through a lens of the neurodiversity paradigm, and a lived experience of neurodivergence, specifically dyspraxia; a neurotype which affects memory, coordination, cognitive processing, and the execution of movements. Yet, through the process of a paradigm shift, this study widens its focus to consider neurodivergence more broadly. Deliberations of choreography itself also become expanded, to explore increasingly interdisciplinary modes of dance alongside alternate social relations and modes of spectatorship within the performance space.
