Performance artist Choreographer Dancer

In shallow light
or suddy water,
in the eye of the other
and pooling self
BATHE
A site of attempted rebirth. Of retreat and healing. The need for more than a vessel. The desire to return. To vanish and slip beneath the glass.
Reanimating the classical figure of the nude bather, Bathe functions as part performance installation – part participatory experience, creating a shared liminal space; a body of water and light in which self can be lost or compounded. A choreography of both privacy and visibility, Bathe invites you to soak or observe as part of a durational communal experience.
