Sitting under a young oak tree in the garden outside the cultural center, I invited people to talk with me about water, and about their experience of the recent drought.
Audience of one performances
The Remains of Memory
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?
Spring Arrives So Slowly
A six-hour walk along a railroad track in a public park.
Disintegration
Individual conversations about disintegration in our lives.
The Cure
Lying in a hospital bed in the landscape, to take the cure, breathing in the fresh, mountain air.
waiting and waiting
Waiting and waiting on the bank of the Cedar River.
Greensleeves and Cardamom
A performance for an audience of one person at a time, which took place inside their heads.
Choose (chance encounters)
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.
Innehalten (be still)
These performances were made in response to each person who sat with me. Silent and nearly still, they were visual readings.
