The Case for Invagination

"The Case for Invagination" (invaginate: verb not necessarily correlated with the anatomical vagina) is a feminist reimagining of space by Nicole Bindler, who made her JACK debut in 2015 with The Dance Apocalypse/Solos.

The body is not a bunch of separate parts, but one thing that has infinite folds. Through this process of invagination we make ourselves. This performance is a practice of Bindler swelling herself up, cleaving, folding, complexifying, as we do in our embryonic development.

Why invaginate??
Feels good.
Try something new?
Your cells will love it!
Intussuscept the patriarchy.
