Slow Walk for You (While the Planet Spins) 
Barrington, Rhode Island, 2024
A site-specific performance made in collaboration with Claire Alrich 
Costumes: hand painted cotton, sewn and dyed silk and reclaimed curtains



This performance begins with a procession. Three dancers unfold rectangular fabric forms, composed of silk and transparent windows, each with a painted frame (a comet, dandelion seeds and a volcanic eruption). In formation with members of the audience, the group carries the fabric outstretched like flags down a grassy hill, across an intertidal marsh and onto the beach. With audience assistance, the dancers slip into the fabric forms, their imagery suddenly animate. Like three fates of time, their movement considers forces of change: wind and water erosion, the earth turning on its axis, a human presence on the landscape.
