Yozmit The DogStar
Roaming presentation and Performance On-site June 3rd:
WALK
WALK—a silent, durational, meditative walk in monochromatic and sculptural costumes. It is inspired by the medicine walks of Indigenous/Native American shamanistic tradition. It incorporates a butoh-paced walk, sculptural wearable art, and recordings of my own songs supplying the sound elements.
To walk slowly is to slow down time, to go completely internal, especially in a world where people move and think too fast. I wear monochromatic costumes to reflect how society is a parallel monochrome; everyone doing and following similar interests in a superficial world. Through masking the physical appearance of self and visage, I become a totem for myself and the people around me to awaken the spirit of the space for that moment. Doing this I become part of the void, transcending myself, and become the audience to the performance of life around me.
Post WALK sound presentation/concert
When my first silent meditative walk finishes I will reach the final destination and get revealed and I will share some of my songs in the form of intimate sound healing.
