Other than Trauma

An autobiographical solo exploring generational trauma, addiction and empowering the body's wish to connect, find support, and heal.

This was created and performed as part of the American Indian and Indigenous Collective (AIIC AC) symposium “Decolonizing Our Lives” at UCSB March 2, 2019.

The performance includes an audience score to begin where people present are asked to meet someone new, and given the option to take off their shoes. They could choose to share a conversation about a time when they felt unseen or unheard when they were young, or of a connection they have with an animal. Everyone was given the option to gauge an experience of touch before the outdoor solo performance began.
