A performance generated from observing the positions which viewers assumed when looking at the art in the CalArts “Exquisite Acts and Everyday Rebellions” Feminist Art Show. The syntax of “The Movement” comes from the Dada manifesto and the gesture of “The Movement” from the Feminist art within the performance space.


Excerpt: (Note: words in brackets were performed, not spoken)

The Movement takes on the job of [walk forward]

and [walk backward]

of [peer forward].

The Movement is only a divinity of [nod up and down],

which must quite simply be placed beside the other forms of
[raise right hand]

of the [move right arm in as if to clap]

of [do a full clap with the left hand].

Abolish [clap with both hands]

and all that’s left is [combine walk forward/ peer forward/ nod up and down].
