Ho Yuhan Ashley

"thank you! to the processes which have colored in my year; to the people who have created the conditions for them to exist, so i could craft my ways through them.”

children of happyland with zarah Breng – relay with ula sickle – a closer look with ingrid berger myhre – the sadness and absolute loss with each version of lockdown – guilty landscapes with dries verhoeven – the silencing with david weber-krebs – finding a home for awhile amidst a year of homelessness – residencies as ashley ho + domenik naue, at dansateliers, campo, workspacebrussels

me:

my fascination: things that are spiky – that have appendages sticking or leaking out, all with distinct voices, gooey and immaculate and grotesque and tender. this one page cannot hold the specificities of awe,,,,,,i keep falling in love. come ask me instead

in our performance domenik and i are embarking on floor (triptych) – a transmogrifying animal from which a plurality of performative interventions will emerge, as clean, as wild, and as smelly as they appear. each growing limb will be its own monster in its own medium.

we are dancing across the years. this is a scenographic experiment, a book-making venture, a concert album. this is an investigation into the cross-section of Performance. it scrutinizes traditions of archival, of art conservation and restoration. this project will be what it looks like when we don't hold back.

i wish to always love what i do, to move from a place of jOy  /the future follows the urgency of the work, not the solace of labour  /nothing goes to waste, there is nothing to waste. (energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only converted from one form to another); everything is a presence shifting into ruin;  /the future thinks with&through lightness, (s)       laughter, actuAL joy! we move not from the force of fear but of desire  /the reality is we exist in different ways  /i do not give a shit. i give six  /the future moves towards the troublingtwistingtangling, where the gravity is. when i say hit me, fucking hit me. tell me what the stakes are  /it works from our situatedness. we look our privilege in its mouth and stay with its pain and its polarity and where it pulls us.  /when we want to do something else, we do something else
