Earthly Beings in Dreams is a performance of sounding, poetry, movement, and set design, to be site-specifically explored and story-told. Drawing on the artist's inner conversations that she continues after her spending times with her old and new friends and workshop-giving across oceans and lands, she writes poems. She breathes with the sunset, the moon, water and trees. "As I see the sunset, kind sunset, I realize that I am sunset itself, the sunset that is shared by all of us." We are always interconnected with other beings. Continuing conversations and listening into herself allow her to realize or change--we learn, evolve, understand, and heal in relations.
