Wind At My Back
2012

This 50-minute original performance installation tells a surreal story of critical moments and biographic reflection. Conceptually seeded, co-written, facilitated, and produced by myself, this open-structured collaborative piece seamed together original work by over 30 artists and artisans.  It began with a community prompt to collect childhood memories of home and place, which were incorporated into the life history of the main character, Hollis. Out of these precious and poetic moments, we crafted a collective human experience that was both real and universal, with poetic overlays built through original music, aerial choreography, storytelling, and visual art.  

Equipment and rigging provided by the Philadelphia School of Circus Arts and Give and Take Jugglers. Music by Gemini Wolf. Tensile Fabric set design/ installation by Broken Arrow Workshop. Performers and choreographers: Rose Bonjo, Niff Nichols (lead), Jackie Zalewski, Meg Skill, Peter Smith. Visual Artists Emily Davidson, Jovana Sarver, Lindsay Wallace. Curated stories by Dan Schein, Leslie Friedman, Yolanda Ho, Jovana Sarver. Photography by Jason M Photographics.
