Dages Juvelier Keates is an independent writer, artist, and teacher living and practicing between Stockholm, Sweden and New York City. Working with performance, text, and image, her research employs choreographic and poetic methods to feel what the body is, where it extends, and to whom it may belong. Drawing on philosophies of embodiment in psychoanalysis, somatics, queer and feminist studies, Juvelier Keates activates fantasied internal cartographies of the body, metaphors and methods for living-in, and caring for, the ecology of “the self.”

Our living bodies hold all we have ever been exposed to right here and now, in this very breath. Our breath and guts and brains are made of skillful and ancient stuffs — they remember. We can also conceptualize with certainty the end that we all share: we are all mortal, we are all vulnerable. Our bodies are the substance of this precious precarity. Using breath, mind and movement to skillfully reawaken interest in life as it is happening inside of our fascia, inside of our neural nets, we can find a way to grasp the transformations we are living through.
