Simone Johnsons performance piece emanate frames water as a source rather than a resource, emerging from her interest in water's history as a nourishing and healing force. Johnson invites others to experience elements of the creative process in a participatory workshop on May 26 where they will engage with movement material and investigate their own relationship to water, self, and other as source.
