In "Breath into Doe, Whitney Vangrin's performance embodies somatic principles, metaphorically suggesting life-saving measures by breathing air into yeast dough via surgical tubing. This transformation of dough, traditionally associated with baking and nourishment, becomes an exploration of the body's malleability and its capacity to shift, adapt, and transform in response to external forces. As the dough fluidly morphs and adapts, it mirrors the fluidity of the human form, the vulnerability of the dough underscores its capacity to shift and transform, highlighting the delicate balance between resilience and fragility inherent in both the dough and the human body.
