Hallelujah Anyway / 2013

AUNTS Residency Brooklyn Performance: Mugwort cleaning the soil collected and protected. Erin Beneze + Perin Hailey McNelis join the performance. Jmy’s modern ritual choreography and Tara Jane’s unique arsenal of electro-acoustic instruments engage into an expressive ecstatic body.

Los Angeles Public Library Performance: Based on the 1937 image of Bella Lewitsky as a "sacrificial maiden," found in the Library's photo collection, Hallelujah Already ritually prepares the body for a coming Apocalypse. The body as rhythmic instrument and vibratory source cycles through life and death.
