Artist Khiri Lee (Boulder, USA): River

Inspired by a studio practice with Creativity Alive in Boulder, CO, River is an exploration of the intersection of mixed media art, improvisational sound, and dance. The score has three approximately 15 minute parts performed by solo artist Khiri Lee Part One – Discovery. Dancing upon a stage of painted papers in shades of blue. Contacting the sound impacted by the encounter of a dancing body in space. A whispering creek. Part Two – Transmutation. The stage of papers is dismantled. Torn, Ripped, and Shredded into a new form. The noise of rapids. Part Three – Alchemy. The shreds of paper come back together with glue and tape into the form of the River. A settling into the change. Making beauty out of deconstruction. The flowing stream.
