new/mind/ritualz (movement 7)

new/mind/ritualz (movement 7) took place en el Caribe Sur de Costa Rica at a local beach that is most popularly inhabited by surfers and beach volleyball enthusiasts. ... collaborator Boyd *Z* Stout and i brought some performance art to this very place around sunset some weeks back ...

feel free to check out the archive for new/mind/ritualz.


in brief, n/m/r is an ongoing performance that demonstrates ritual-oriented storytelling one movement at a time. in total, there are 56 movements unfolding.


while briefly on the other coast of Costa Rica (The Pacific) in Playa Ocotal, i warmed-up some concepts for what i wanted Z and i to collaboratively bring to n/m/r 7. i knew i wanted to incorporate veiled moments, mirror-play, and additionally use iconography that is common throughout my work: colored water, glitter.


thank u to Lauren C. for taking pictures of this experiment in Ocotal, and to Andrea P. for editing.






for the performance en El Caribe, see the images below, PLUS a full-length video of Z and i's collab.

* NOTEScollaborating was a really important element for me to bring into movement 7 of n/m/r ... feminine and masculine energies interacting, teaching each other; it was good. i also feel soooo drawn to movement/dance these days, and Z's incredible expertise in this area helped me to explore just this.

* about myself i am learning to strengthen my own divine masculine - - - this performance gently opened the doors for me to do so. 

* as written in my artist's statement:

"new/mind/ritualz ultimately explores memories, demonstrates moments of growth in the present, and invokes rituals of healing & action for the collective future."
