Breathing Room:
Comb The Dark
On September 14th, we invite you to join us for a session of our Breathing Room, where we will begin our exploration of Mad Praxis/Methodologies. In this session, dancer, writer, and artist Aez Pinay will guide us through a powerful performance called Comb The Dark that calls forth the mourners, the red cryer, and the grief collector—archetypes that will help us transform our sorrow into a source of courage.
Through this evocative performance, Aez Pinay will help us confront and embrace the grief that we carry, a grief deeply intertwined with the ongoing crises perpetuated by white supremacist, capitalist, patriarchal, and colonial systems. This event invites us to delve into the pain we often resist, allowing us to knead grief into our beings as a way of building resilience and finding strength in our collective sorrow.
We will begin with a special poetic intervention, setting the tone for an experience that is both therapeutic and confrontational. This moment of reflection will challenge us to face the discomfort of grieving in a world that seems intent on breaking us down.
Prepare to be moved, challenged, and empowered as we embark on this journey together, exploring the depths of our emotions and the radical potential of embracing madness in the face of systemic violence.
