In Real Life: Studio provides a glimpse into the working processes of artists. Throughout the fall a select group of artists utilizes spaces in the museum to convene and rehearse new material, including theater, dance, music, and performance. While some artists and collectives will simply discuss or workshop material, others will produce a new project from rehearsal to final performance. 

Marshmallow Sea is a sequel to our most recent creation, WATER STORIES. I am picking up where we left off—examining water symbols, conservation, sustainability, and dream logic. Marshmallow Sea is a collaboration with 3 contemporary composers as well as textile artist, Amabelle Aguiluz. It is scheduled to premier in Seattle in 2017 with Anna Conner at Velocity Dance Center. This project has been developed through a Holiday Residency at Pieter Performance Space and will continue to evolve on the Studio stage at the Hammer Museum.
