Press Release

Dorit Cypis continues her inquiry into “who can we be to one another”, with CoLab: Performing for a Better World, a living laboratory weaving together aesthetic strategies, psycho/physical/social tools of somatic experiencing, and transformative mediation.

Dorit will draw from her artwork The Artist in Her Archive, an ongoing living performance of memory and geopolitical histories triggered by her 50-year artist archive, and from her platform PeoplesLab, offering tools developed to bridge our cultural and personal differences and generate allyship and coalition.

The public is invited to view changing details of this exploration as well as to participate in scheduled interactive performance events which will be announced for registration.
