Another Story

I leave America to travel a short journey abroad, "simultaneously enchanted and repelled by the inexhaustible variety of life." Thirsty for learning, I seek the stimulation of raw observation and that gentle flutter of eyes fully grasping the intricacies of what others may teach. 

It will bring a strange and sad unfamiliarity, as it rips me from nostalgia. However this treacherous territory excites and challenges me to fling far from the familiar as having told its tale, to embark on the brink of what is brave, true, and changing.

Time can be as pleasantly stagnant as a puddle as it passes swiftly by us, but if I buckle up my rainboots, and just hop and stomp in the water, the waves and ripples will change everything and become new crazy life.

Kinetic Conversations

This week, I spent two evenings experiencing afterhour night sessions at museums of Boston. 

At Breathing Movement Into Art, a kinetic exhibit inspired yoga class at the MIT Museum and the First Friday Night Snow Ball at the ICA, I felt thrilled to see young people swarm into the cultural palaces that house the city's current creative works of genius. 

Participating in lively programming that engages targeted audiences socially and allows flexibility to escape the confines of the regimented museum visit probe the question: Is the traditional museum visit as relevant to the masses any longer? Is this unconventional programming the way of the future of community arts engagement?


I would risk everything on yes. #artsaccessibility

5000 Moving Parts

The machine breathed in and out slowly. Allowing space between its broad and square shoulder blades as its inhales rose up. Its exhale felt like steam letting out, compressed and loose. 

It spun and curved in the most linear of fashions. The shoulders pulled up to the sky while the wheels moved methodically down southward. 

The trickling trinkety small sounds and large swooping of breath was silent and raucous simultaneously, as whispers from sandpaper lips.

The spine, simple and wooden, wound round in a twist tightly, yet sprawled larger than life. Mechanical and industrial in material, yet organic and most biological in its kinetic ambiance---the parts all conjoined to make meaning. 

Lights flashed theatrically as the flesh rose up and down. The forms about the space informed the positions, until reference became repeating.

The speed of movement seemed to quicken, yet the in and out of sound remained solid and the same. It was a reminder of force and dominance in a space made safe. 

What drives you to power but that creation of something which has never been before? 

Space. Movement. Ingenius. Experiential Engineering.

that’s tricky to achieve."
