ArtBark is thrilled to close out their third residency at the beloved Dragon’s Egg by gifting the community with a free showing of the fruits of their 6 day stay at the space that has become a treasured home away from home. With infinite gratitude for the gifts provided by Mystic Paper Beasts – we love you so! Donations welcome for those who feel compelled to support the process.
Title: ???
The work is a response to our community’s three-year process of developing the evening length work Alma.Sama and uses the meditation “What’s the solution?” as the impetus for poetic performance initiation. I imagine it expanding into an evening length playdate.

This work is a response to the shock of recent terrorist expressions, and initial exploration helped me process and work through grief, it is a continuation of the meditation, “What’s the solution?” and plays with the concept of process as performance with elements from today’s performance serving as material for further development. Improvisation Playmates: ArtBarkers! Concept Misa Kelly developed with the collective co-creatively
