— exploring transformation, identity, politics, ecology and international exchange.

Core Thesis

Through a somatic lens, I investigate how movement, perception, memory, ecology, and consciousness shape transformation—understanding the body not as separate from nature, but as a living extension of it.

My practice is a continuous inquiry into the body as a carrier of memory — personal, ancestral, ecological — and as a medium for international exchange.

My practice explores the somatic relationship between body, nature, and consciousness, using movement as embodied knowledge to investigate transformation, interdependence, and our more-than-human existence. I approach the body as a carrier of personal, ancestral, and ecological memory, while examining how these embodied experiences intersect with the climate crisis and spatial politics. Through movement, immersive encounters, and international exchange, my work creates spaces for reflection on our interconnectedness with one another and the more-than-human world.

Pillars of Practice

Multidisciplinary Inquiry

Artistic Research

Somatic Ecologies

Somatic ecology explores the body as part of a living ecological system, asking how soil, roots, breath and movement can shape artistic knowledge, ethics, and our relationship with the more-than-human world.

Situated at the intersection of Art × Science, the project brings together choreography, field research in West African and European landscapes, and dialogue with ecologists — proposing a practice of listening with, rather than acting upon, the living world.

Institutional Collaborations

Samuel welcomes inquiries for commissions, curatorial partnerships, and academic engagements.
