A House for Birds
2014
A unique storytelling experience uniting performance art, text, and environment, "A House for Birds" is built wherever the branches connect. Using original writing by myself, and quoted text from authors Herman Hesse, Shakespeare, and the Tao to frame a performance art happening, this solo performance piece bridges genres and poses questions to progressive permaculture enthusiasts. How do we claim ownership of "home", and how are our hearts tied to natural resources?
Built for and staged at the opening of Beacon Food Forest and other environmental/ social projects, "A House For Birds" features an Intermission Act commissioning series that was test- piloted in 2014 in Seattle and Philadelphia. Local artists are chosen to split the show and perform mid-way through. The work was developed during an artist residency at Peñasco Theatre (NM). It will be re-performed at the opening of Fairmount Food Forest in Philadelphia (in development).
