Performance
Performance uses movement,
costume, set, sound, and
collaborations to explore how
interconnectivities to this earth deity
function. As individualities and
identities rise and fall in our
experience on this planet, one
thing becomes clear: we are never
truly separate from it. Costumes
suggest rituals could that could
become the hallmark of this
spirituality. Ways of identifying and
expressing these more meaningful
experiences in patterns that can
express experience from the
personal to the communal. Actions
that anyone can jump into to
feel the calm of belonging, to be
an actor in a universal story.
Moments when an individual
points back to the human drama
inwhich we all particpate. And the
opportunity for anyone to observe
or be a part.

Performance and video
13 min.
Collaboration with Jasmine Albuquerque
Croissant and Wren Ossman
Using a piece of audio from the
real moment Jasmine returned to
the childhood home she shared
with her mother to see it
annhilated in the Woolsey fire of
2018, this piece explores loss and its
effect over time. Held in a literal
suspension in the trees, the set and
clothing created a sacred space
for her to reengage this
experience in real time identifying
what had passed and what lay
buried. The forest holds her as the
ground slowly swallows her and
everything that identifies and
protects her in a slow and
painful but redemptive burial.
Water and earth are the amniotic
fluid from which she is reborn.
It is clear this kind of loss is always
changing. Like a scar, it is
unresolved. I co-created sound,
set, and costume for this work.
