Roots Party
Thursday October 10, 2019 from 4:30pm-7:30pm
Geneva Public Library
244 N. Main St. Geneva, NY 14456

Multi-disciplinary artist Edisa Weeks, invites you to join her in the journey of making 1,865 roots out of paper and twine. A Roots Party happens over several hours, during which people can participate in making roots, share a meal, and engage in a community conversation about Food Justice in Geneva, NY from 6pm-7pm.

The roots are for the performance installation of THREE RITES: Liberty on Tuesday March 31, 2020. The roots dangle from the ceiling to the floor to create an environment that the audience separates and moves through, to find open spaces containing reflections on liberty.

For more information contact: Cynthia Williams - Williams@hws.edu

This event is sponsored by the Dance Department and NY State DanceForce.

ADDITIONAL DESCRIPTION
A Roots Party takes place over several hours, during which people can participate in making roots, enjoy local food, and engage in conversations about a topic relating to liberty, led by thinkers, practitioners and community members. The Roots Parties emphasize engaging people in a shared dialogue about how liberty is protected, promoted and accessed in their community and America at large. The Roots Parties started from a desire to understand why the US Declaration of Independence guaranteed liberty as an inalienable right, and how America is living up to that guarantee.

CREDITS
THREE RITES: Life, Liberty, Happiness, is a seven-hour interdisciplinary interactive experience by DELIRIOUS Dances/ Edisa Weeks, that integrates live music, dance, text, two visual installations, community discussions and shared meals to humorously and poignantly examine how America has protected, promoted and pursued life, liberty and happiness, and how these rights manifest in the body. The individual performance rituals (rites) can be performed separately or all together. THREE RITES is produced by Marýa Wethers and presented by 651ARTS. It will premiere in Brooklyn, NY in Fall 2020.

Founded by multi-disciplinary artist Edisa Weeks, DELIRIOUS Dances seeks to erase the barriers between art and life, between performance space and audience space, and between mediums. We are interested in finding ways for the audience to interact with and influence the experience of a work. We believe that art revitalizes the everyday to reveal something new about ourselves, and the revelation is an energy, a spark that has the power to change the world.
