Somatic Partnering is a bodily technique to bring deep attention to language, health, and care within and between participants. This program features artist-in-residence Ilya Vidrin in conversation with three figures whose work and research are critical to their project: Bonnie Wong, director of the Neuropsychology Program in the Frontotemporal Disorders Unit at Massachusetts General Hospital; Mario Alberto Zambrano, Associate Director of Dance at The Juilliard School; and Çaca Yvaire, the Terran Shield and Community Conservation Co-Director for the Northeast Farmers of Color Land Trust (NEFOC). To open the conversation, Vidrin will offer a participatory performance exercise informed by his Somatic Partnering curriculum and created with collaborators during his New Museum residency.
