S W E L L is a solo work-in-process created by kt williams as part of the Artist-in-Residence program through the North Carolina Dance Festival 2023-24 season. As a solo, S W E L L blends together personal memories and experiences related to themes of home, place, and belonging, while enmeshed with feelings of anticipatory grief. S W E L L explores and embodies situations of delay, deconstruction, and transition as opportunities for reflection, rest, and recalibration. As a process, S W E L L has organically become a container for healing: to honestly hold space for one-self, and to reflect, process, and move through deeply embodied notions of "home" - both, temporally and geographically.
