Dawn Nilo

It’s about having a conscious moment (or two)  with guests.

Each performance is different and developed for a specific time, place and group of people. Sometimes I work with other artist – actually, every guest becomes a collaborating artist and in this sense we have: experimented, given performances, exhibited light, recited poetry, played games, solved riddles, sat in silence, philosophised, made music, told stories, worn masks, removed masks, discovered destiny…  And I have tried, as yet unsuccessfully, to brew the perfect flats of tea.
