Hello friends + dedicated artists,

I am inviting you to my first winter lab where I am hoping to discuss/perform/play with some ideas bubbling from my time in Oslo. My time in Norway was pretty quiet and motionless — so, I am looking forward to physicalizing this with you. I will be honest, usually I come in quite prepared, but at this moment I am trying to approach this with little structure and rely on responsiveness.

At the moment this opportunity is unpaid. I acknowledge this, and will be working towards providing a fee in the future. However, I can provide a warm environment (Daniel’s heated garage) and some warm liquids + snacks! Please feel welcome to come to one, or all, or none!

Daniel’s garage/indoor lab — dancing + discussing

day two→ Wednesday December 29, 2021 at 10:30am - 1:30pm EST
