Cartography of Becoming -- Lake Studios Berlin - August 2019, IceBox Project Space, Philly Fringe Festival 2022

This work takes the theme of map-making as a point of departure, a map is a way of documenting physical reality, there is a tension between this and the idea of becoming, which is an ephemeral space that is continually unfolding in time. How do you map that which is ever changing? This duet takes this question and seeks to reveal both the steadiness and fragility of becoming. 

Practically, the piece is a duet with myself and one other performer. It begins with a pile of stone that is placed on my back while I move, when I move the stone makes sound and as the stones accumulate they fall in unpredictable ways. As I move the stones create a pattern on the floor. The movement is simple and fragile. It had other becomings too, becomings alone. (The work has been re-performed as a durational solo as well.)
