Undertow

We stand in the rain as if there were no sun.
stand in the desert as if there were no rain.

Live in the valley as if not rimmed by hills,
ascend the hill as if we had left the valley.

Climb the cliff as if roped together,
remain roped together after the climb.

Till the soil as if we could tame the earth,
sow seeds that flower into the wind.

Cook potatoes as if we had grown them,
eat as if we could live forever.

Walk into the sea as if we could swim.
We swim as if we could.

-Rosalyn Driscoll

DEBORAH GOFFE
LITURGY | ORDER | BRIDGE
Bodies In Motion, 2020

Conceived by Deborah Goffe and performed with Lauren Horn and Arien Wilkerson, this ongoing process has centered dance as the organizing principle in a liturgy (a ritualized public ceremony) that is imagined to stir personal, interpersonal, and communal stuck places. Dance has long been leveraged as a way to reconcile the relationship between the expressive body, imagination, realms, liberatory practices, and aesthetic impulse. Here Goffe activates her own garden by visioning broadly and close to home. READ MORE

UPDATES ABOUT PROJECTS AT 33 HAWELY:

PRACTICING PRESENCE: Postponed until September, 2020

SERIOUS PLAY: Development of the ensemble piece Moving Water is moving ahead via Skype, as musician Jonny Rodgers dials in from Oregon to work with playwright Eric Sanders and the cast, scattered around the Valley. Director Sheryl Stoodley said she is “glad to still be devising and not trying to open on any specific date. Artists do not stop – they find other ways to continue.”

HISTORIC NORTHAMPTON PROGRAMS: Postponed for later dates

CALL TO ARTISTS FOR RESIDENCIES: Available when the building re-opens
