SHIFT~ performance salon presents:
ShiftCircle
by StuffStudio & Sydney Swanson
September 5-11 online, September 10, 2021 in person
ShiftCircle is an immersive performance with accessible collaboration that asks, What if art and performance wasn't meant to only be consumed in its finished state? What if the art making -is- the art? Art making through collaboration is the interaction between our intentions, our environment, and what is accessible to us. Art as a finished product is often the beginning of a goodbye. This collaborative performance will allow us to linger in 'the hello' for a while. Together.
The ShiftCircle experience started with an invitation to participate through creative prompts on their ShiftCircle Facebook Page September 5-11, 2021. There was an in person event during Winona Main Street’s Dine Out Downtown, and then StuffStudio and Sydney each created goodbye video offerings shared online at the end of October 2021.

StuffStudio (he & she) knows art is valuable and should always be accessible. Art is power, wisdom, and storytelling. Art has form, can be formless, is real and unreal, light hearted, heavy-hitting, soft spoken, delightful and enraged. Stuff is a human making art, making music, making movement and making experiences.
Sydney Swanson (she/her) is a dancer, photographer, dance filmmaker, and healing arts practitioner recently relocated to Rochester, MN. Winona had been her home for nearly half her life and the river town and its inhabitants continue to shape her consciousness and inspire her. In the last year and a half she has been redefining her relationship to art and healing arts and is curious how the two intersect, inform, and support each other. She is grateful for the many connections she has made and looks forward to the unfolding of these connections in her life. www.swansonphotodance.com

Goodbye Videos
Sydney Swanson A meditation on place and impermanence while reflecting on what was shared and created in person in September. There are no words in this short sharing, just the sounds of waves, birds, and some children. May the waters flow through you and nourish you in whatever ways you need. https://vimeo.com/637861306 StuffStudio Please head over to their ShiftCircle Facebook page for Stuff's goodbye videos, which include a music piece titled "Scientific Curiosity" and one created as a response to practicing vulnerability. |
