Nicole Goode
Performing durational falls down quarter-pipes and grind rails at skate parks, I interrogate how bodies occupy and negotiate space. Extending the duration of a fall, my body attempts to move out of sync with the slope’s velocity. I ask what happens to my body - and those watching it - when I resist the choreography these spaces demand. A slow, soft body in a hard, fast space.
