Becoming Kinmakers
Becoming Kinmakers, 2024
Live AV Performance
Movement Lab, Barnard College
Duration: 30 minutes
Under the endless night sky that dizzies the depths of emotion, Kinmakers—Apni (Surabhi Saraf) and Aurum (Laura Hyunjhee Kim)—weave a world in flux. Becoming Kinmakers is a live, multimedia performance where notions of time, space, and self melt and re-form, shaped by the porous language of a shapeshifting blob. It is an improvised felt-rhythm between two performers—part spell, part transmission—that evokes an emergent, fluid kinship.
Developed for the Artificial environments / environmental Intelligence Festival (Ae/eI) at Columbia University’s Movement Lab, this work-in-progress performance explores the interstices of nature and technology, embodiment and abstraction.
Guided by movement, voice, and layered projection, Becoming Kinmakers invites audiences into an immersive cosmology of togetherness—one that resists binaries and embraces becoming-with.
