When you can move through a house blindfolded it belongs to you ... as
if you were a blueprint of your house.
(Michael Oondatje, 1989)
A dancer moves through the mnemonic traces of places which inhabit and haunt her presence; shifting between 'here and now' and 'there and then', kinaesthetic memories unfold, rewind, and interweave.
