Lately my research interests are lead by my studio practice, where I'm continuing to develop a method of trance work for performance, drawing from Aisha M. Beliso-De Jesús' notion of copresence, and Boaventura de Souza Santos' notion of copresence, working with ancestor presence to where performance becomes a process of conscious mediumship; I'm also looking at Legacy Russell and Micha Cardenas' thoughts on the glitch and playing with the theoretical and practical artistic applications of the glitch as parallel to experiences of consciousness, gender identity, and time.
