Echoes of care
Echoes of care
Echoes of Care is a collaborative multidisciplinary performance exploring the theme of haunting and Black ways of care and exploring the body as a vehicle for epiginetic memory of carelessness and carefulness. Playing physically with the concept of closeness (of those performing) and proximity (to the audience who remain peripheral), the performance, considers the sound of careFULness and careLESSness and how that sound might echo through our bones, memories, and beyond.
Combining sound (a performative sound piece by Liz Gre), voice (a performative eulogy by Kwame Phillips), movement (a dance performance by Rebecca Pokua Korang), and intervention (a sonic and gestural call and response by SA Smythe), the piece creates a resonant space of care and vulnerability amidst the layered temporalities of living in a racialized world.

Abstract
Echoes of Care is a collaborative multidisciplinary performance exploring the theme of haunting and Black ways of care and exploring the body as a vehicle for epiginetic memory of carelessness and carefulness. Playing physically with the concept of closeness (of those performing) and proximity (to the audience who remain peripheral), the performance, considers the sound of careFULness and careLESSness and how that sound might echo through our bones, memories, and beyond.
Combining sound (a performative sound piece by Liz Gre), voice (a performative eulogy by Kwame Phillips), movement (a dance performance by Rebecca Pokua Korang), and intervention (a sonic and gestural call and response by SA Smythe), the piece creates a resonant space of care and vulnerability amidst the layered temporalities of living in a racialized world.
