Tree Dances
June 9, 5-7pm at blackholehollow
Epiphytes and (para)sites: an afternoon assembly
Performance, walking tour, and listening practice, this event is an invitation to witness, map, and move through and amongst the forest scene, proposing tree dancing as a practice of searching for former and future exoskeletons.
If they’d let me make each part of my body, I would have chosen the strength of trees.
