Sacred Spaces Series at Night: Breath/less

Breath/less is a solo for two dancers. Breath/less is a conjuring of breath and togetherness. The work is situated in ritual and connection, the consecration of space and of bodies together. Breath/less is a ritual of waiting, of suspended expectation, a holding pattern, a maintenance of hope in a time of brutality. It is also a memorial.

We invite the public to participate in the setting and lighting of the candles that light the performance, and to write or draw their own remembrances that are scattered amongst the candles. Breath/less was originally created at the height of the pandemic and is now a work that memorializes global shared experience, and now invites us to acknowledge and experience grief together, no matter what it is we are grieving. The public is guided by the dancers and volunteers to light, and then re-light over one hundred candles that create a space in which the dance occurs.
