Hiiiiii.

We are thrilled to invite YOU (yes, you!) into the kitchen/lab for an open studio sharing of where the echoes pool.

There are three nights—TUESDAY september 15,  THURSDAY september 17 & FRIDAY september 18, each a little different, at a location—**a hidden waterfall where time loops and lingers and the dance floor is magnetic**—in Lenapehoking/Brooklyn. You get the address when you RSVP.‍ ‍Accessibility info here.Afters at Filthy Diamondon 9/18!

This is an experiment in collective conjure—you are invited to participate by hitting a 2 step (or a 6 step, do you!) and/or speaking a wish. You can always choose to witness.

This is process for real—like we might stop and turn on the lights. We will definitely talk about it after.

Space each night is limited—go ahead and RSVP. See you at the waterfall <3.
