TEND :: Performance

Tend is a service-based performance experience fulfilling a socially important and biologically urgent allogrooming need. Structured as a one-hour appointment, the self-care informed dance and music scores simultaneously envelope the audience while leaving space to allow your nervous system to settle, contemplate the inherent power differentials in human interaction, and allow the somatic possibility of conflict resolution in true social grooming form. Colliding necessity, extravagance, and irrelevance, it imagines a world where your monthly dance appointment is a legitimate need. A haptic, phatic, and kinetic service providing a much-needed place to rest, recharge, reflect, reconcile.
