HIT PLAY. CLOSE YOUR EYES. LISTEN.
Words from the Artists:
Kayla's words come from the heart, detailing her self awareness and her experience in the world. In producing this work with her, I am struck by the way the body holds tight our memories: unconscious, but powerful.
​
"It's good days, it's bad days, it's up, it's down."
​
This spoken word is a journey and this is only the first iteration. We are continuing to build and collaborate. Some things don't have to be perfect, they are bursting with power needing to be shared. As we progress in this time and space, we hope to produce more versions of these words, transforming them into lyrics and lasting melodies. In this raw form, we share our art.
