Headphone warning :,( there’s a strange clicking sound in my audio from my “mic” that reappears throughout that I didn’t notice until I started editing so I apologize… please bear with me. I take this as a sign that I need to actually get a mic. This video is me trying to grapple with the incredibly complex concept of how to define ownership of movement, of dance and very heavily inspired by recent events of Alysa Liu winning gold at the 2026 Milan Olympics, Martha Graham and the legalities of choreography, Kazuko Miyamoto, West African dancers, and Herbert Read (again lol), and FKA twigs
