SUMMARY:The Land Alchemists - Elevated Stage Reading & Ritual
DESCRIPTION:The Land Alchemists follows Sunny\, a Black genderqueer farm manager who was laid off for their teach-in on Palestine and the Congo. They return to a childhood home where they hope to heal and figure out what’s next. They have the unconventional guidance from Shadow\, Spirit\, embodied aspects of Sunny\, as well as revolutionary ancestors like Patrice Lumumba\, Mahmoud Darwish\, and Katherine Dunham. Most importantly\, they have YOU\, the audience. You are casted as “The Light Orbs” to Sunny. Together\, through rituals of stillness and dance\, rest and release\, and even a foot soak\, you journey with Sunny through several portals to refuel our collective spirit for political resistance. \nThis is a fundraiser where all proceeds will be split between the Panzi Foundation of the Congo\, and Camp Breakers of Gaza\, Palestine. \nSince we will be in ritual together\, including a foot soak ceremony you are encouraged to wear white/light colored clothing\, wear comfortable attire\, and be prepared to remove your shoes.

Cardell’s production aligns the bodies of her dance ensemble with the land\, merging human movement with nature to reveal our inextricable livelihood and empowerment.\nIn this program leading up to the June performances\, Cardell’s work will be discussed in conversation with the groundbreaking work of the artist Ana Mendieta (1948-1985)\, whose performative artistic practice embedded her own body into the land. Filmmaker Raquel Cecilia Mendieta introduces Ana Mendieta’s work through two short films\, Ana Mendieta\, Nature Inside (8:23 min) and Whispering Cave (27 min) for this exclusive screening.
