There is nothing new under the sun, but there are new suns” Octavia. E. Butler

Julia Flux works at the intersection of dance, somatic practices, choreography, sculpture, community weaving, and site-specific performance. Rooted in dance and regenerative practices, her work explores the human–earth–body entanglement as a sensual, sensing field in continuous exchange with unseen forces. Through land art, immersive and participatory performances, film, and site-responsive sculptural installations, she creates situations that dissolve the divisions between artist, artwork, and audience, and between science, fiction, and myth—inviting shared states of attunement and resonance.

Navigating the world through partial deafness, I listen with my whole body. What is perceived as absence becomes, in my practice, a heightened sensitivity to vibration, rhythm, and relational presence. This embodied listening informs my search for post- and more-than-human languages that emerge through sensation rather than sound alone. My community work extends this practice from the personal body into the collective body, understood as a space of care, resilience, and shared becoming—where listening is a practice of building, sustaining, and sensing together.

RESEARCH

My research grows directly from communities of practice and somato-social movements as living ecologies of care, where bodies learn together how to listen, adapt, and endure. Through Butoh and somatic inquiry, I understand movement not as expression alone, but as a technology for cultivating resilience, compassion, and collective sensing—especially in times of rupture. I believe that social and ecological transformation cannot occur without changing how we inhabit our bodies, how we relate to vulnerability, and how we attune to one another beyond productivity or identity. Within shared movement practices, the personal body opens into a collective body, capable of holding grief, difference, and slowness, and of rehearsing more gentle, post-human ways of being-with the world.
