In the field studio, I interact over time with the living space; we are creative partners and collaborators.
Over the course of the last four months, some spaces were mowed and others left intentionally alone, or excavated in part. It tells a story about how we hold loss, the fluidity of time, our interconnectedness to all things and waking up to the startling mysteries that are below our feet, waiting to emerge.

NOTE: OCTOBER 8th
At the field studio today (Sunday, October 8th) we have standing water and a fresh breeze on the Beaufort Scale, which will be turning to gale force gusts by later this afternoon. Unfortunately, it's not a good day for sitting outside listening to music and watching dance. It's a good day for making soup with loved ones and sitting with appreciation for all we have.
Please join us on Saturday, October 21st, for a revision of the experience. Times and performers forthcoming.
Show me the life before me, now.
Sunday, October 8th, 2023 you are invited to the field studio to be with friends or family, to eat and drink, to watch the performers or the sky or the spiders. Please follow our maxim: Feed Your Self!
The afternoon will start with Swale playing a set of music on the day's theme followed by a dance performance by Danielle Tekut, Jessie Owens, and Nicole Dagesse accompanied by improvisational music by Swale from the silo stage. The sun will set while we are there.

An invitation for you to take or leave:
Bring a small object that represents a loss for you - of a person, a time, a dream.
Plan to leave it behind (it will be taken care of for you).

"Danielle Tekut, Jessie Owens, and Nicole Dagesse have been meeting each other in various dance spaces for some time now. They have danced in orchards, fields, farms, and sculpture parks, in theaters, studios and nightclubs, at dinner parties and community centers, in barns and museums, in films, with music, in silence, to live opera, poetry, crickets, birdsong, and to the sound of their own voices. They have danced together on tables, chairs, stages, wood floors, fabric, marley, boulders, concrete, marble, grass, moss, soil, and tree stumps. Each of them relishes in the discovery of dancing in new spaces— the delightful surprise that emerges in the interaction between movement and landscape. They have so much yet to discover. "
