iwb: glossolalia in the flesh

How can one approach the unspeakable in dance improvisation, through a choreography that is moved by breath, or a language moved by utterance? iwb seeks to engage in a process of expressing the unspeakable, but how does the unspeakable get expressed? In this incarnation of iwb, mayfield works with the breath, the utterance, the scream--bodily tremors, shaking & trembling.
