No One Thing is the Root of All Anything: Phases and Performance of the Imminent in Bloomington, MN

The text examines the intersection of concepts within performance and astronomy that speak of both bodies in and of spaces. The text establishes performance as an expansive form of research methodology and astronomy as a lens through which we can begin to understand our place in and relationship to the universe; it aims to locate the personal in this investigation while it also leaves the concepts expansive enough that all life can find a place to exist within it. The cycles of formation, birth, death and decay within our bodies mirrors that of the processes that cosmological manifestations over go in time. The objects far out in space can contain fragments of what is also inside life forms. The aim is to discuss personal and expansive spaces, to examine and discuss the potential within them, and look to at the end as another place from which to start.
