About the performance
Bedtime. There was a period in my life when I spent more time and creative energy putting my toddler to bed than making art. It was a struggle. But the more we worked on it, the better we got at it. It became a routine and a kind of private performance we did most days. Each caregiver of a child develops such a routine. By our own admission, those routines are imperfect. The Production of a Routine is a performance which invites a small group of caregivers to enact or discuss their evening routines.
For this iteration of the performance, the artist will be joined by Ansona Ching, Claire Bartleman, Magdalena Olszanowski, and Celeste Midori .
