Reinventing The Infinite

This past Wednesday, June 15th, Denver Performance Research participated in a "Play Crawl," which was part of a fundraising benefit for And Toto too Theatre Company (a local theatre company that focuses on giving female playwrights and artists opportunities to show their work). And Toto too Theatre Company Executive Director, Susan Lyles, hosted the event at The Oriental in the Berkley/Highlands neighborhood and collaborated with a number of locally owned businesses on Tennyson Avenue to participate in the event by hosting site specific performances that audience groups would tour around to throughout the evening. Audience groups were witness to a total of nine 2 - 5 minute performances created by female playwrights, directors, musicians, and performers. Our modest alley space was invited to participate as one of 9 venues.

I decided to reinvent one of the environments from a past work titled, Pathways, to develop a new Sculptformance called, The Infinite.

The Infinite is difficult to explain because it originates from the experience of living in the unexplainable. What I can say is this: There is timelessness in the infinite. I am a giant ground sloth in the infinite.

The following photo is of The Infinite from the original Sculptformance, Pathways taken by LeAnn Brubaker:

It was my intention to expand the experience of being in The Infinite environment more largely around the body. Cocooning a bigger space where I could share the experience of that "within-ness." I simply wanted the material to surround and out stretch, like it was it's own organism that was growing arms and reaching out.
