This program will take place virtually, on
Zoom.

Hosted by CPR 2022 Artist-in-Residence Star Mitchell, through readings, as well as excerpts from the artists’ own work, we will navigate back to the source of our internal fire, with the intention of strengthening our inner resources through conversation and sensory exploration. In this work, emotions are the vehicles the body relies on to find balance after a trauma, and feelings represent the accumulation of incomplete events and the body’s attempt to complete them. Texts will include Audre Lorde’s poems “Walking Our Boundaries,” and “a litany for survival'' from The Black Unicorn, as well as an excerpt from Mitchell’s performance Reclaiming the home, which was presented in-progress at CPR in February 2022. Mitchell encourages all to join this reading group, it will be tender and kind to your spirit.


Performance Philosophy Reading Group is a regular reading group that invites artists and thinkers to facilitate discussion on a text or topic, in whatever way feels most productive.


This program will have auto-generated captioning on Zoom, and ASL interpretation can be provided, on request, with at least two weeks' notice, by emailing info@cprnyc.org.
