Cook Movement Practice

Thesis in the bag. ✅ Let the final stretch begin.
One last rehearsal before I climb into the branches for the COMMA Festival, where I’ll present my graduation piece: “Leave Your Shoes at the Tree.” 🌳

This process has been its own kind of pilgrimage, a tribute to the healing I found among the trees during one of the hardest
and lowest chapters of my life. My body was pushed to its limits: injuries, rain-soaked rehearsals, feet numbed by frost, breath held with the winter wind. Through every session, adjusting, unravelling, and adjusting again, the trees stood by. Steady, wild, and quietly generous. 🌱

I’ve found such deep solace in their branches.

I’m endlessly grateful, for the land, for my professors and mentors, and for the beautiful, brave humans I’ve shared this journey with.

If you’re nearby, come witness the tender, strange and miraculous fruits of our two year expedition. It’s a special one. 🙏
