Iteration 1 of 777 Photo by Charles Han This 12-hour solo performance aimed to produce a dance that: +offered time rather than demanded it +operated in radically humble mode +breathed as an anthem to the limits of empathy culture, AND also aspired toward mutual recognition +attended to a painstakingly precise compositional score, and dropped it to say, “i love you; welcome; thank you for coming; you are more important than the work, that is the work.” +could be infinitely renewable For this project, I transcribed aphorisms/proverbs onto my body. The score placed vernacular wisdoms on an embodied collision course. Occasionally, one or two aligned or emerged triumphantly.

For example, while choreographing, touring and performing, i served as a hospice nurse (sometimes attending to a death and performing at the Opera house within the same evening). i also stepped into posts as program director at the Offices of Epidemiology and Disease Control (developing protocols and forging partnerships with some of the most incredible thinker-travelers i have ever met), and middle school integrated science teacher/ballet technique consultant (the stories here are many). i even accepted an invitation to teach high school chemistry and night school health courses. Each of these journeys was remarkable. Each left an indelible mark on my artistic practices. http://lettybassart.org/new-page daily 0.75 2026-06-18
