How many days have you been alive? How many of those days can you recall?
This performance was about what is left of our lives in the end, how we might assemble the fragments, and hopefully how we might make some kind of sense from it all.
What really will we leave behind?
A six-hour walk along a railroad track in a public park.
Individual conversations about disintegration in our lives.
Lying in a hospital bed in the landscape, to take the cure, breathing in the fresh, mountain air.
Waiting and waiting on the bank of the Cedar River.
A performance for an audience of one person at a time, which took place inside their heads.
Choose (chance encounters) was a performance that engaged with individuals one at a time, and was structured by chance. It was presented in a bedroom at The Western Front.
These performances were made in response to each person who sat with me. Silent and nearly still, they were visual readings.
This series of interventions were created specifically for the 7th Annual Performance Studies international conference.
Created in response to the theme of ecology and art, and the idea of traces left in nature, I chose a site along a 'renaturized' stream.
