UPCOMING EVENTS, CURRENT PROJECTS & EVENT HISTORY
COVID stopped a lot of things I was doing, but also allowed me to focus on my studies at UC Davis. Now I passed my Qualifying Exams and Covid appears to be slowing down a bit, maybe making live events plannable again. As soon as things manifest on the horizon, I will post them here. I haven't stopped. I am gathering energies and new ideas to see where and how best to start and continue.

​So, stay tuned.

ÜBERGÄNGE - BEING THE GAP
An experimental collaborative project on transitions and liminal moments
In this workshop we will explore the nature of all the many things or states that we might call 'a transition'.
I envision this workshop as a lab, an open setting with a couple of general goals: Explorations together and sharing of processes with audiences.

First, as a starting point, I am interested in how we can uniquely address the obvious transitions between everyday life and being an audience member or a performer. From there we can go into depths and details of liminality. Curiosity and openness are at the center of this week.

In a 3 hr daily time chunk together we discuss, explore, play guinea pig for one another and also share our ideas, concepts, performances, artworks, scenic designs, costume, installations, and whatever else you choose as a medium, with audiences. Together we will find a shape for our experiments; perhaps as a sequence of events or an ongoing ever changing installation, meditations, audience interactions, a party, rituals, moonlight-walks, you name it...

We can provide simple tech support, but emphasis lies on creativity and self sufficiency in this regard. Think site-specificity and local resources.

You can come with ideas or without any preparation at all. 

Our playground for this workshop are the beautiful spaces and natural surroundings of Ponderosa in Stolzenhagen.

For this experimental creative workshop it is my goal to focus on process, as process itself can be defined as transitional. I am curious about how many questions we can raise around the topic of transition and liminal states: is there such a thing as a transition? Do all transitions share common characteristics? Are there different kinds of transitions? Do transitions depend on time or space, or emotional states? What roles does the investigation around transitions play for other aspects of life or community ? Are we changing roles, personalities, places, opinions? What is the nature of a transition? When does it begin and end? How long does it last before it becomes something else? What does this moment hold? What does it not hold? What is missing? What can we explore to begin shifting the mind or stay in the in-between for longer? etc...
​
Our work can be personal, abstract, political, social.... We are open to everything.
