A HISTORY OF GATHERINGS

a new work of live cinema exploring the act and art of gathering - its meanings, forms, functions and resonances. actors and audience 
enact gathering in everyday and impossible formations. a cluster of cells, a forest of trees, a family meal, an unproductive rehearsal - serve as content, context, as well as physical sites, through which to explore, estrange and understand the nature of gathering - as it is and could be. 
created with Emily Mendelsohn
