She Walks the Air I - X
“She walks the air” is a line cut out from a Japanese Avant Garde theater artist’s minimalist depiction of war, life, death, and sex: Ota Shogo’s The Water Station. Incredibly humbled by the breathtaking beauty of this non-western canon, and equally dissatisfied by its hyper-eroticization of the female body, and failure to acknowledge colonization, She Walks the Air has been refusing to land since 2017, incessantly morphing in its shape. With more than 40 cumulative international collaborators, She Walks the Air has been a site-specific performance installation, multi-media performance, fabric art, audience interactive performance, multidisciplinary experiment, animation, an ensemble ritual, and more. In 2024, She is remorphing with the support of LMCC’s Creative Engagement Grant.
