(Un)common Ground

(Un)common ground is a performance web-publication intended to build a common understanding about where my work is coming from and where it is going. The performance is approximately 15 minutes long. The performance begins with a smudging ceremony using sage picked from my tribal homelands, which is a common practice in Native communities intended to cleanse our spirits, bring our hearts and minds together, invite our ancestors into the room, and send our voices to the Creator. The publication consists of my own writing which I published as a website designed specifically for a tablet and is projected into the space where the performance is taking place. To access the writing, the viewer or performer has to literally re-orient their device. (Un)common Ground has also been published in the Urgency Reader.
