This offering is an experiment in repatterning—an exploration of how we might return to performance material created pre-pandemic. What would it look like to develop a process that honors change, shifting needs, capacities, and boundaries of a creative team? Can we create a space to more deeply prioritize collective care and shared embodiment?

Chapter 6, repatterning offers the third iteration of Salvage Rituals, continuing the parallel practices of body-based ritual and myth making as strategies for sustaining. This iteration will present salvaged archives recounting the histories of this creative journey, the final chapter of the staying body and the leaving body mythology, and a re-visiting/reimaging of a physical sustaining score on a hexagonal platform embedded with piezoelectric material that transforms the mechanical stress from the performers’ bodies into electrical current, actively powering lights in the space. The evening will end with an invitation to a communal ritual/a little dance party.
