Intent

Weekly Rites is a performance you are invited to every week, right here. I post it by Friday evening.

It's an ongoing experiment four years long in movement and writing; how with my body, camera and a place, I can perform an old and ongoing function: channelling through movement, sound, image, word. I'm beginning to realize that the rite can have a sort of life, an ongoing or latent action, or curious density. If I've done my job it continues to accumulate or unfold.

The sections are now chosen from a half hour of continuously recorded performance videotaped wherever I am that week.

I'm working from a place of not knowing, from nothing - learning through doing. I'm not trying to be good, but devoted. You are already inspiring me. I invite you to watch or not watch, do or not do along with me; respond whichever way you want.
