Offering
Collaboration with Ben Green

Taking the form of a practice in its performance, Offering explores the role of rituals in our lives: how the intimate and vulnerable behavior of ceremony can cleanse and renew. It delves into relationship with the inanimate, and sifts through phases of reverence, playfulness, absurdity, and rawness.
