ROOT MAKING

DELIRIOUS Dances | Edisa Weeks

Join multi-disciplinary artist Edisa Weeks in her studio for an afternoon of making roots out of paper and twine and enjoying food, drink and conversation.  Edisa is making one thousand eight hundred and sixty-five roots in recognition of the year 1865, when legalized chattel slavery ended in America. The roots are part of a performance installation, THREE RITES: Liberty, and will dangle from the ceiling to the floor to create an environment that the audience separates and moves through (as if moving through history), to find open spaces containing reflections on liberty. THREE RITES: Liberty is the second section of THREE RITES, an evening-length interdisciplinary work that features three interactive performance rituals (rites) about life, liberty and happiness. The work examines how these rights are protected and promoted in America, and how they manifest in the body. The full work will premiere in 2020.
