What are we sharing?

Rosy Simas' yödoishëndahgwa’geh (a place for rest), is an installation, a film, and a practice of grieving, condoling, and being in relationship with each other.

yödoishëndahgwa’geh and Simas’ related larger project, she who lives on the road to war, is a continuum, a practice. This practice includes improvisation scores to be shared with audiences and develop in relationship to place. The practice is done by a group of people who together are a company of performers: Lelis Brito, Erin Drummond, Sam Johnson, Sam Aros Mitchell, Valerie Oliveiro, Pedro Pablo, Sharon Picasso, Lela Pierce, Judith Holo Shuǐ Xiān, Jeffrey Wells, and Taja Will.

yödoishëndahgwa’geh is a vehicle, a space, a bridge between Simas' larger projects. This iteration of yödoishëndahgwa’geh is not tied to specific funding or curated presentations. This situation gives Simas, and the artists she works with, more freedom to decide when, how, and for who this practice/work is shared.
