Catharsis- performance installation

---

The audience is welcome to sit and  interact with  sand either by making patterns or running their hands through sand, they can do as they please. The point is to be grounded. To feel and connect with the earth. That in itself is healing and transformative. It also boosts the immune system.   From there they move to fire  FIRE - this is an element that purifies and transmutates intention. They will be guided to vent on a piece of paper for those who can write and then put it into the fire pit where it'll be burnt and set free. This allows for release of stagnant emotion 

This medium is going to highlight the cleansing power of the element water. Seeing that they've first engaged with the earth, they will now wash their hands clean, dry and moisturise. 

This also reflects the current health climate -covid19 and creates an avenue to share how to mindfully wash hands in order to reduce the spread of germs.  This then flows into the final part of the performance Air/breath 

Having properly washed hands, three people at a time will be invited to sit with the artist for a mindful breath meditation. 

The artist creates a breathscape drawing from her yoga practice in pranayama(breath control) which is deeply healing and helps achieve catharsis thus concluding the performance cycle.
