(Performance, Site Specific, 2018) Seven artists. Five rooms. Lasers, sand, rope, the street, and boxes of Alphabits. DISTANCES is a sequence of experiences in space, light, sound, movement, performed text, and cereal that seamlessly blend elements of theater, dance, and environmental art within the confines of a humble former auto parts store in southeast Portland.

Drawing on texts by Richard Foreman and Rebecca Solnit, and the artists own improvisations, the sequence of performances charts a parallel path of the curiosity, pathos, uncertainty, and humor that shape our relationships in confusing times.
