Excerpt from a review of a previous version of this work:
“In this site-specific work, there was a true transformation of place (communal and specific) that occurred during the three days of the performance. The relationship of venue, artist, and audience was strongly established at the onset. The production would never be the same performed elsewhere, and the history of the site was now brought into a new present and presence. As audience members and as performers, the Deer Isle community had a living conversion...” - Quarryography: New Life in an Old Quarry - By Janis Goodman

This project explores the ongoing dialectic between specific, local ideologies and the natural history of a particular place. This project will take place in collaboration with choreographer, performer and puppet artist Mia Kanazawa and also with composer Nigel Chase.

Q2 Habitat is a project commissioned by Opera House Arts in Stonington, ME.
