Practices for Keeping Time
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced many of us to confront time: from abrupt shifts in daily life to the hours spent confined at home, from questions of mortality and survival to the urgency for radical changes in how we live. We face new realities of “before” and “after.” We experience a lag between the temporality of nature, or a virus, and the speed of capitalism and contemporary culture. Clockwork is a performance score that uses movement, language, and rhythm to explore the elasticity of time and memory. Through a series of movement and writing practices, we will slow down and create space for questions to arise. How do we fall into and out of sync with each other? How is time the technical support of both performance art and social relations? How might an awareness of time lead us to history and to politics? What is queer, feminist, and post-colonial about time? Clockwork is a way to keep time using your entire body, all of your senses, and your memory.
