9 Billion Miles From Home
Performance- two artists are tied together through a pulley system and perform a ritualistic set-up process (filling a large circle with talcum powder dust) and then, after an explanation for the audience, each goes on a journey. We then get a description of what he saw and she answers questions about her experience ("How far are you from a moment of stillness?" etc)
The performance took about 1 and a half hours, reminded me of meditation- ritual, time consuming, focussed, thoughtful, self...
we're performing a ritual.
We want to live in a big here, and a long now
we want to let thinks take the time that they take.
We are beginning to understand that we can't do that alone."
Handmade, shown in the foyer. 3 films of models representing weather catastrophes but made with everyday materials and placed inside a rotating aquarium- great reflections.

The Revery Alone
3D film of female dancer on ceiling so that she seems to be hanging above the audience. Interesting what the audience will do to participate/view the work- in this case a room full of strangers, lying on the ground and wearing 3D glasses...
