Where this piece comes from:
As many of you know, I have spent the past three years building site-specific structures out of trash. I have performed in them, served tea to passersby, and connected with urban farmers, permaculture practitioners, compost educators, environmental communicators, climate adaption experts, garbage activists and others, in an effort to make sense of how we live on this planet. last days/first field is a dance not a hut, but in some way, it is a culmination of my research and an attempt to kinesthetically process that experience through performance. With last days/first field I am asking where we are now and where we need to go next.
