The truth is, you can't control how people think of you. Part of shame is trying to shape others' regard, when powerless to do it. Remembering this again recently, for the one thousandth time, has been liberating.

Intent

Weekly Rites is a performance-in-progress, a process conducted weekly over five years, posted by Friday evening. It recently came to completion in mid-July 2012.

It has been an ongoing experiment 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 and word. It seems that the rite can have a sort of life, an ongoing or latent action, or curious density. If I've done my job it has continued to accumulate or unfold.

The sections have been chosen from a half hour of continuously recorded performance videotaped wherever I have been that week.

I work from a place of not knowing, from nothing - learning through doing. I don't try to be good, but devoted. You, as a viewer, have always inspired me. I invite you to watch or not watch, do or not do - respond whichever way you want.
