i’ve been on a journey w my grandmothers, our grandmothers in multiple realms. it has been an honor to listen in to the wisdom we all need in these times.
this work is a virtual and immersive cinematic experience with Cindy, our collective Grandmother. it is an invitation to be part of her care team, to dream with us, and extend time. most important- it is an invitation to hear grandmother share 3 different stories and share her wisdom, on 3 different nights, held by 3 new performance films.
Funding for this production is provided by Foundation for Contemporary Arts Merce Cunningham Award, Gibney Dance, Spotlight Series Residencies: Snug Harbor: PASS, United States Artists, and Art Matters.
