“Hours and seconds passed, the moonlight shone on the wrong wall, there was no moonlight only darkness, and in the center of all darkness Faxe: the Weaver: a woman, a woman dressed in light. The light was silver, the silver was armor, an armored woman with a sword. The light burned sudden and intolerable, the light along her limbs, the fire, and she screamed aloud in terror and pain, ‘Yes, yes, yes!’”
December - Rae Luebbert
Create and envelop yourself in a character. Establish a costume (maybe with found objects, a thrifted treasure, clothing from a collection of people in your life, maybe a wig). And explore this character. Develop little rituals that they experience. What do they do in the unfamiliar intimacy of your own space? How do they experience public spaces? Uncover their movement and how they would create art.
