Sensing Networks

Franconia Sculpture Park
Alchemy & Intention: Summer Solstice Performance Art Festival​

It is through the cultivation of deep listening that our communities strengthen relationships. This performance accentuates the potential of our senses to not only listen, but to feel. While each human being is born into a world flooded with pre-conditioned social structures, we share a network of inner bodily experiences.

“The act of feeling is an ongoing phenomenon that surrounds or envelops our bodies as we gauge our presence in the world. (Sekimoto, Sachi, and Christopher Brown. Race and the Senses: The Felt Politics of Racial Embodiment.)”

Throughout this performance, I invite the community into slowness and encourage all to activate their sensorial connection to the process of comprehension. Where are our sensorial experiences shared? Where and how are they unique? What is your sensorial experience of race? Responses will be recorded or transcribed into the creation of a communal banner.
