As a means to co-compose movement and language, Verb List in postposition takes Richard Serra’s score Verb List (1967) comprising of 84 verbs and 24 contexts, and transforms the verbs by the joining of -with.

Certain words came forward in my mind as windows. Certain words fell to the bottom as they misalign my embodied intuition (systematize-with, distribute-with, disarrange-with). Many words met me with care and welcomed a softness both in tempo and quality of contact (fold-with, open-with, hang-with, repair-with, enclose-with, bond-with).
