This choreographed performance is in direct dialogue with Suarluni / nôkosit / coming into view, 2025, a new work commissioned for akâmi- that comprises fabricated vessels modelled after a 500-year-old Sugpiaq ceramic pot from Lukin Linklater’s homelands on Kodiak Island, Alaska.
Comprising three parts, the performance will feature a live musical score, choregraphed dance and poetry-reading. For the artists, _structural_flex_ represents a restorative practice, marking a key moment in which the vessels will be activated and modified .
