Where is home video installation

A part of the Where is home project is a multi-channel video installation which is a living archive of gestures collected in the years of the project.

Where is home is a lucid and poetic analysis of immigration. Alice, who was born in Italy to an Italian father and an American mother, investigates being an immigrant in the USA, exploring the dynamism present between the two worlds. Her body is almost folded in half under the weight of these multiple identities, but is still vigilant. Her eyes are wide open and ready to react. The performer tries to make visible the difficulties of reconciling who we are with who others perceive us to be.

Where is home is a community organizing dance project centering immigrant stories of displacement and resilience. It includes a solo by Alice Gosti, four dance solo experimental tours of INScape Arts (Seattle), an Immigrant Dancer Exchange for immigrant/refugee artists and embodied storytelling workshops for immigrants.

third shore

third shore is a new project that reinvents how I’ve previously integrated site-responsive inquiry and immigrant/refugee stories into performance by uniting the embodied experiences of four immigrant dancers with investigations of the INScape landmark and local immigrants’ stories through medium-pushing dance tours. The project begins with an INScape residency Winter 2023 where I’ll help co-author four site-responsive guided dance solo tours with an immigrant team. The tours will investigate the immigrant experiences of four soloists while integrating the architectural/emotional landscape of the INScape building, formerly Immigration and Naturalization Center. To create solos within this space, dancers will immerse themselves in INScape’s hallways and holding rooms, researching the landmark’s human histories.
