A miracle somehow
Hand-embroidered cover, printed on a 100-year-old letter press at Art Farm in Nebraska, USA.

Even with all of her swimming badges
sewn onto old bathing suits,

and the lifeguard whistle

it seems impossible
not to drown.

Brittany Duggan in 'mountain girl' co-choreographed by Brittany Duggan and Susan Kendal / Photo by Lindsay Zier-Vogel

August 21 at 7pm, August 22 at 9pm ~ Winchester Street Theatre

choreography: brittany duggan and susan kendal
dancer: brittany duggan
costume: susan kendal

With a glacier deep skirt burying her thighs,
and topographical maps printed
on the insides of her wrists,
her elbows, the hollow of her throat,
(north, north, northwest, north),
she carries with her
skies that are wider than
the reach of her arms.

Nebraskan inspired love letters, printed on a 100-year-old letter press at Art Farm.

The green that goes on
and on
and on,
the copycat
sky.
