This is a short excerpt of To The Ground, a performance project created in collaboration with performer Mitsu Salmon and composer Brett Ian Balogh. The visual rhythm, temperature, and spatial organization of the piece are aspects we developed together throughout the process of our explorations in grounding.
In the material content that we are using:
our voices
our bodies moving in relation to gravity
a large electrical circuit laid out on the floor of the performance space
smaller circuits translating the flow of electrons into sound and light
the ground underneath and surrounding the building of Links Hall
we are referring directly and indirectly to the process of energy transformation through grounding.
