Title: "generous soup"
In July this summer, I had the opportunity to give a workshop in a village near Beijing, in which all the participants were women. Inspired by this experience, I draw on conversations and times I have had with women and transgender friends. I have come to know, as I learn about myself through art and experiences, that I have weakness. Knowing about such has been an important step to develop my art, working from grounding and everyday lives. My times and conversations with my friends and new friends, and my wishes to my friends have given me chances to know about my inner shape, its changes, and growth, and to know my intention.
I will use movement, sung voice, and a few spoken words for this new work, commissioned by Unfolding Grounds.
