This performance was a meditation on how my lifestyle had changed drastically in the past year. I did yoga for thirty minutes, meditated for ten minutes, watched a thirty minute video on wedding planning and took a test to fulfill the requirements for the Child Development Accreditation I was pursuing. During the performance the audience was invited to create a “Yes” circle. The yes circle is a diagram in which any and all things that the creator wanted to expand on or empower in their lives went inside the circle and anything that they wanted to shed went outside of the circle. I borrowed this technique from my Baptiste Yoga practice and used it defined the activities I took part in for the performance.

“Secrets” Lone Star Explosion International Performance Art Bianale Box 13 Art Space in Houston, TX February 20, 2014 1 ½ hours

I sat motionless in a storefront window and instructed the audience to write a secret on a slip of paper and drop it into a bowl in my lap. After depositing a secret, the participant took a slip of paper out of the bowl, read it out loud in front of me and the audience, and then they ate the slip of paper. At the end of the performance, I read aloud the remainder of the secrets and ate them. The performance was a cycle from internal to exposed to internal again of the secrets of the participants. First written, then spoken, then consumed; the secrets were transformed from internal pain to shared knowledge and physical consumption.

These are some pictures of a canoe trip through Big Thicket National Preserve with some of my favorite hippies. I wrecked on my scooter two days later and was in a wheelchair for a month. I developed these during my downtime at El Rincón Social.
