2024In celebration of the total solar eclipse passing over Texas in April, 2024, I created Eclipse, a collaborative audio-visual performance staged at the DIY art space, Shedshows in Austin, TX. It was an immensely collaborative event. Through the poetry, music, video, drawing, and dance of my artistic community, I wanted to recreate the awe I experienced as a child seeing the moon. Thematically, the parts were united by themes of alignment and dissipation, the collective interpretation of an eclipse.

The audience of Eclipse saw two large illuminated discs, referred to as the Sun and Moon. The Sun image was mounted on the roof of the gallery space and displayed a live video feed of a hand drawing that was superimposed over the face of one of the performers. The moon served as a screen for a video feed of a rotating 3D sphere moving through the space, puppeteered by another performer. The visuals were accompanied by a poetry reading and a musical score for the vibraphone. In totality, the outdoor site-contingent performance was a unique, panoramic experience for the audience in attendance. Similar to the total eclipse, it was a moment of perceptual transformation.
