Our Bodies Know The Way Performance | Thursday, November 2nd, Noon

Cayla Skillin-Brauchle, and creative partner Cal Lawton, will be giving a performance titled Our Bodies Know The Way in the EWU Gallery of Art.

“This work responds to my ever-present feelings of grief, despair, and fear around political collapse, social despondence, and the rapidly deteriorating climate. To combat panic, I find myself conjuring situations and images that allow for a transformation of mind, body, and spirit.

Many of my “solutions” rely on absurdism to bend our minds and consider different ways of living. It’s important to me that these solutions are makeshift—temporary bridges fashioned out of the resources at hand.

Studio experiments, performances, and drawings on paper and cloth are designed to help us think about different ways of living and approaching our intimate and societal relationships through care.”
