When Your Skin Calls You Home - an outdoor moving theatre piece

This summer, I had a wonderful excuse to drive up to beautiful Bolinas every weekend to contribute music and direction to Melusina Gomez play “When Your Skin Calls You Home”. The following is a quote from their website:

“When Your Skin Calls You Home is a Selkie folklore inspired circus-theater production based on Sealskin, Soulskin by Clarissa Pinkola Estés.  Through performance art and ritual, grounded in Curandersimo, we will confront what has been taken, nurture what has been neglected, and remember what has been forgotten.

This outdoor environmental theater production weaves aerials, live cello, vocals, movement, and mask into wild places, as we traverse trails and labyrinths.

Bring your heart, weary of isolation.  Bring your warm layers, your face mask, your walking shoes, and a pillow for sitting outdoors.  Bring your longing for your truest self.  Come to the forest.  Come to the Sea.  Come home.” You can learn more, here.
