Seek Body Contour is a movement and poetry short film, exploring trauma, healing, and reconnection through the body. The film is told through the composition of vignettes and is inspired by somatic dance practice. It is deeply concerned with how womxn of color navigate social and cultural surveillance, male validation, and a myriad of other standards and demands. The contours mentioned in the title refer to the lines that map the experiences and emotions for how womxn live in their bodies. All of the womxn who participated in the creation of the film (currently living in South Korea as foreigners) have contributed to sharing how they disturb, complicate, excite, and add weight to gendered spaces.
