When you can move through a house blindfolded it belongs to you ...
as if you were a blueprint of your house. (Michael Oondatje, 1989)

A dancer moves through the mnemonic traces of places which inhabit and haunt her presence; shifting between 'here and now' and 'there and then', kinaesthetic memories unfold, rewind, and interweave.
