Aine E. Nakamura & Adrian Montufar
Aine and Adrian investigate the voice and the body through collaborative performances of sound and movement. By embracing the body as a site of intuition, they enact practices of collective care, listening and sounding with and beyond the body, and imagining future possibilities of a communal language.

Foot SOS (Theresa Currie, Dianne Lynn, Angela Roberts)
FootSos...Sticky sweet
Is these three ladies or what
with some secret
returning to subterfuge
or something like a tribute band
of lost nostalgic selves.
Is it bad times for gluttons and
low-carb false consciousness?
Or the burnt burrito butt
of at least one former sugar baby
turned sugar cougar. Vegan nut cheesin'
in the Bay 100% natural flavoring.
Tartine dumpstering:
A collective fiction or queef
centric punning? Memorable ditties!
Definitely 85% human.
Or more like uhhhh 2sweet 2B 4 gotten.
