CROWNING (or how to change shape while remembering your name)…
photo credit Neha Gautam, crowning in october, 2020
…is a traveling multimedia dance installation, game, and series of meditations. CROWNING asks participants to trace their way through city scapes following water ways, along the paths of four archetypical characters—GATITO, SUGAR, SLINGSHOT and RUST.
A pandemic baby, CROWNING uses new and old tech—including ritual technologies—fantastical imagination, dance, cooperative story telling and connection to forces of nature in urban spaces to invite us home to our selves.
The next chapter of CROWNING will take place January 11, 2024 at Bronx Academy of Arts and Dance—tickets coming soon, so save the date ;-).
GATITO’s path.
GATITO is a street cat. Pretty, not cuz he’s pretty, but pretty cuz he’s free. Every tight spot is a door to him.
Check out GATITO’s path, as it was in crowning in october or how to change shape while remembering your name, 2021.
