About RIPENING

A mind-bending 3 part exploration of our psychological relationship with  time through dance performance, film, and art installation. RIPENING is a vehicle for navigating and observing the cyclical nature of all living things, blossoming, maturing, and transforming, moving from youth to old age to one’s imminent death.  Conceived and created by Vanessa Walters in collaboration with Brian Gonzalez, RIPENING seeks to understand society’s resistance to aging.

This Screening: RIPENING/YIELD

How Time devours . . . Ripening/Yield is an ominous exploration of childhood memory and playtime - a danced reverie on the slipping away of youth, the movement of Time, the seemingly sudden shift from youth to old age. It is a celebration and acceptance of the aging process itself. One woman, as four, dances through a quixotic journey from maiden to mother to crone.  

Dancing through a pastoral nightmare, a secret world opens where the mind's eye of a child parallels that of the older woman emerging beside her. Characterized by four women, one woman faces her imminent mortality AND cyclical return, moving with delicate breath and violent gestures from the memories that haunt her.


Screening at 8pm. Running time – 28:33

Countdown


“Time is too precious.  A life is a moment in season.  A life is one snowfall.  A life is one autumn day.  A life is the delicate, rapid, edge of a closing door’s shadow.  A life is a brief movement of arms and legs.”

- Alan Lightman, 'Einstein's Dreams'
