Katrina conceived the idea for this piece many years ago. It began as most of her ideas do—simply with a vision of the physical elements that the piece would entail. But rather than the organic materials that are often apart of her work, the items she envisioned were a collection of childhood toys, including a large wooden, rocking horse that was made by her mother and father for her fifth birthday. In addition to the toys, the current installation will feature multiple expansive, handmade garments that she has been transforming over the last ten years. Through her dynamic butoh movements and interaction with the installation, Katrina will tell a story of the various stages of life that one passes through, from the innocence and beauty of childhood, to the ways in the which the trauma accumulated in these early years continues to haunt us and influence our choices throughout life. Within the piece, she will also explore how ultimately we can release the oppressive weight of living in a disharmonious way and begin to move towards a more whole and peaceful state of existence. Katrina is developing this piece in collaboration with her mother, Kawtee Wolfe, who will create a live soundscape to accompany the unfolding narrative.

The performance will be followed a celebration for two birthdays. Feel free to bring snacks or beverages, and/or come in festive attire and enjoy a pony ride!
