Ekko II is a solo dance piece exploring episodic memories and the physical traces they may leave in the body. Can the body retain memories that the mind has forgotten? The piece is a structured improvisation that investigates in real time the physical states memories can evoke. Movement unfolds, the body is the only source of sound—highlighting, amplifying and in contrast to the physical form of the improvisation. A self study examining the relationship between our minds and our bodies. Using the notion of  the body as an archive, the pieces aims to venture through the unknown and beyond— exploring what forms us and our understanding of who we are, and questioning who we are without our memories?
