Margherita Tisato is a movement practitioner and a seeker of somatic wisdom and integration. She facilitates a range of movement experiences spanning from Trauma-Informed yoga and somatic movement to dance, Butoh, and body suspension; her educational offerings include experiential workshops in anatomy, pain science, embodiment, and trauma theory, and she currently teaches in vastly diverse environments, from colleges to prisons.
Through performance-based film, Ayoung Yu explores Korean folk traditions and spiritual practices. Passed on generationally, they connect her to her family and to a land whose absence she feels palpably. However, she is not faithful to the historical canon. Her work aims to transgress older traditions, regenerating them within queer, diasporic contexts.
