Bloom

Bloom. She is Descending
July 31, 2014
NYC

Bloom was performed for the second time on July 31, 2014, as a part of PuppetBlok! at Dixon Place, NYC. In the year since the first performance, Bloom evolved from a one-woman show to an ensemble piece directed by Lindsay Abromaitis-Smith. In this iteration, Lindsay partnered with Misha Braun in a dance that took her back through moments of sexual and physical awakening and into a present of alchemized awareness within her changing physical state. Dresses from Lindsay’s past came to life as they transformed into flowers at the hands of designer Jessica Scott and puppeteer Sarah Lafferty. A sonic atmosphere of growth and decay was created and performed by Caroline Yes and Christopher Spanninga using the electronic manipulation of objects from nature.
