Duration: 25 minPerformed at Tenam Studio, San Diego
Direction:
Cut one word or phrase at a time. Tape the word or phrase onto the window, creating a sentence.
The act of placing the words in increments demands patience from the audience. Suspended attention.
The piece argues that words are not enough. Words are insufficient symbols used in the attempt to connect. A more accurate mode of connection can only be achieved through presence.
Excerpt:
“Sometimes we get lucky and say the right thing, or have a moment of clarity and fully understand another human being.
But in these cases, is it really the words we’re hearing, or is it precisely our willingness to listen...to feel the universal vibration we finally allow ourselves to touch?”
