I can't make it tonight y'all — i'm unwell.
The video screening is from:
BEING SEEN / HEARD:
a series of DRAMATIC EPISODIC PERFORMANCES Episode 3. Handle w/Care: a melodic rant of Black Emotional Collagen Doses (2021)
—----
Wanted to share the vibe/context of the video series with this clip ☝🏿☝🏿☝🏿 from Episode 1.
The THICKENING of THINGS:
awkward gestures lead to the death of love. (Black Love). (2021)
Performance w/Michael Paul Britto

This four-part series of performances slowly and barely unpacks fears, exasperations, erasure and love. The feeling of navigating in the dark is portrayed through the camera’s shifts/movements, the visual choppiness,
the hesitations in thought process, movements, stillness, misspoken words, etc. They serve as existential scaffoldings of one’s healing process; messy, awkward and painful.
