The sweet relief of coming home

The sweet relief of coming homeDear cozy readers,It’s been a while. I took a little break from the newsletter to visit family abroad, and while I was grateful for the experience, I won’t lie—it was exhausting. Traveling to see family I haven’t seen in a decade brought joy, but also a deep need for cozy solitude.When I got home, I fell in love with everything in my house: the familiar scent when I opened the door, the view of my much-loved countertops despite their need of an upgrade, the unmatch

ARMAGGEDON OR SUNRISE OR SOMETHING_44 seconds

ARMAGEDDON OR SUNRISE OR SOMETHING “It feels like a dive inside to maneuver the body elsewhere… a resistant state of internality against a hideous political world we live in right now.” dance scholar/choreographer, Tere O’Connor   ARMAGEDDON OR SUNRISE OR SOMETHING is an evening length duet made and performed alongside my collaborator Leah Wilks. The work is built on scores investigating exhaustion, endurance and the sensuality/the geographic of both internal and external landscapes. The work grapples with the necessity of proximity to each other: we shake, rumble and drag each other to the ground, carry + sing to each other. Pulling from our different training histories in improvisation, Olympic-level sport, ballet, modern dance technique, photography, and sound design, the piece functions as both a grief ritual and a space for reckoning with limitation. Throughout the work the body becomes landscape, home, monument, spellcaster, caretaker, boundary, and the location of desire.   Duration: 65 minutes, Clip duration: 44 seconds Premiered: May 2019, Bluestem Hall, Barnhardt Prairie, University of Illinois-Urbana-Champaign Made and performed in collaboration with Leah Wilks.   Choreography + Performance: L+M (Leah Wilks, Mauriah Donegan Kraker) Lighting: Alena Samoray Sound: Leah Wilks, Hayat Dominguez Costumes: Larissa Almanza Dramaturgy/jill-of-all-trades: El Emadian Production Management: Rebecca Ferrell Videography: Mya Mcclellan, Stephanie Shaw Video editing: Mauriah Donegan Kraker, Mary Kate Ford

Peter Kogler: Showroom at Impromptu Storefront (TDM English news broadcast)

Since the 1980s, Peter Kogler has developed a specific vocabulary of constructive, symbolic and biomorphic structures that form the basis of his computer-generated, space-filling installations. In close dialogue with the architecture of the site, Kogler uses wallpaper, video projections and traditional elements of interior design to create visual experiences that are often compared to illusionist labyrinths. He was one of the first of his generation to experiment artistically with computers.

Hygge

HyggeI may not be your cup of tea,but I am her double shot of patron,I may not be prim and proper like,But it’s because I make my world my own.I am a bra-burning, barefoot, bohemian, babe,I braid wildflowers into my hair,I embrace all my beauty that’s within and without,whether my vessel is clothed or lay bare.My body is a temple, yes.But I am the goddess to whom it is hallowed,So if you wish entrance, you must pray at my altar,In bended reverence, make sure all rules are followed.So

Cozy.
