Performance on

at Columbia College, Raw Space
1104 S Wabash, Room 205

The act of moving, listening and contributing is practiced in private rehearsals and open showings. Each gathering is precipitated by a prompt that encourages openness, honesty, daring or compassion. The resulting experiences include loosely structured movement, with indeterminate results. The project foolishly, but hopefully asserts that how we embody a space does energetically shape that dwelling and all those who venture therein. Together, audience and performers develop an agreement of boundaries and time. The performance reveals how our lives can be dictated by those elements, while making space for a plausible alternative.

These experiences are being documented in writings, photos, videos and audio recordings. They will be compiled into an accompanying artist book and made available for those interested in repeating similar experiments. Presented in the Chicago Arts District 2nd Fridays (2012) and at Columbia College Chicago (2012).
