This onto-epistemic experimental essay is a modest attempt to imagine another world yet to come in a time of what David Theo Goldberg calls "dread." To interrogate the unnamable feeling/texture the author's body wants to be free from, memories of the author, an "a"rtist/"r"esearcher/"t"eacher/"s"tudent, are explored "poetically" and "critically" as a "creative response" called for by Alexander Means. Poems, photographs, and a student ID card are employed in this memory work, procreating an affective becoming space called "danSing." This essay argues that things do not need to be this way, and things could be otherwise. What Hannah Tavares calls "experimental communities" of a graduate school in Hawai'i have made this creative response thinkable, desirable, imaginable, and possible.
