This Little Light of Mine premiered at the 2017 Proximity Festival.  107  one-on-one performances took place, each lasting approximately 20 minutes.  One of the most difficult and rewarding projects I've created, I relied heavily on the incredible support and guidance of directors and provocateurs Sarah Rowbottan, Kelli McCluskey, and Jeff Khan.  Part immersive installation, part performance, each new audience member brought with them - through the heavy black curtains - a different weight and release.  

An intimate meditation exploring the algorithm of time lived, and time yet to come. Sink into a hypnotic ritual where old regrets are dismissed and new desires are illuminated. Can we really live every day like it’s our last? And even if we can, what does it mean to do so?
