FIRST FRI SEPT 2 2011

As the summer air slowly welcomes the autumnal breeze I feel an incredible glow of gratitude for what a fruitful summer we've had in our humble space this summer. It has been incredibly interesting to see people's response to our work and then to see that a wide variety of generations keep coming back. Our audience flow has more than quadrupled since our first production late spring, Unknown Protest. We hope to continue producing new work in our garage through most of the fall as weather allows. Perhaps we will even find a way to innovate our outdoor venue to draw crowds in the snow. For now, we are continuing with the exciting Sculptformance series, The Residue with...

The Residue is inspired by watching loved ones suffer because of an inability to talk about or express an enormously life changing event. The series is built out of a map that charts the rhythms and patterns of the 7 days of the week and outlines a vocabulary and aesthetic for each day.

Contemplate the different qualities and energies you experience on a Wednesday versus a Sunday. The map of the week then serves as a container to deconstruct and explore 7 phases we may go through when coping (or not) with something very difficult to talk about.

PHASE IV is paralleled with the energetic qualities of a Thursday. Living on rock bottom in the depths of suppressed feeling, only wanting to be loved but having no way of letting others in. Weight. Sick. Empty. Not of this world.

See photos from PHASE I (Monday/Shock), PHASE II (Tuesday/Rage), and PHASE III (Wednesday/Distraction) in older posts.
