the praxis of meadow and collective solitude

taisha paggett engages the Hammer’s Nimoy Studio and courtyard as a contemplative praxis space that actively invites the public to respond to a series of questions, dance scores, and invitations. Accompanied by members of her dance company project WXPT, paggett activates the space through a series of movements that stand on the cusp of practice and performance.

This event, while open to everyone, is intended to create space for POC and allies.
