Holding Pattern - LA Samuelson

 
 

Seated at the edge of a drained out swimming pool, an audience gazes down upon 3-5 rooftops fastened to the pool’s floor. The rooftops cap off small house-like structures that appear, from above, to extend through the floor of the pool, encased up to their rafters in the pool’s concrete. A dancer teases out physical impressions made on the body through friction with the roofing material, and tests out what can be done with memories we no longer have access to, but still feel the shape of.
