Nicole Bindler- Invagination: we are enfolded by space
Saturday 10/11/2025
1-2:30PM @ CHI Movement Arts Center
1316 S. 9th Street
DESCRIPTION: Invagination–not to be confused with the anatomical vagina–is a fold, or the act of folding. It is a biological process, a state of being, an embrace, and a way of relating to space and others. We originate as a simple structure that divides and complexifies, enabling us to perform more refined processes through increased surface area. The embryological development of the various tissues in the body go through a fractal process of coiling, creasing, and differentiating – producing infinite folds. In this class we will practice invagination and develop a queer, feminist reimagining of space through somatic research, embodied embryology, ensemble dance improvisation, and performance practice.
LEVEL: Open. All levels of experience are welcome and all genders are encouraged to engage in this work!
