Urban Sweat Ritual

Urban Sweat Ritual was born out of having a performance space which was impossibly hot in the summer. I created a living wall of moss, and three walls of mud soaked burlap. In the center was an alter the dancers manipulated and became part of. It was a mediation infused with the dancer’s and my intentions and attention. The second half of the piece invited the audience to step into the alter and be witnessed.

Performed at Nothing Space, Bushwick, New York. These photographs are still from a rehearsal video by Joel Clark.
