WEIGHT OF SKY
weight of sky is a solo choreographic practice attentive to and made in dialogue with the sky of place. Held steady by the urgent visceral poetry of Joanna Klink, attending to tectonic shifts of grief, absence as a landmark, and slow glacial unfoldings of time, Mauriah works with durational physical scores, bright costuming that catches wind, intuition. Mauriah imagines weather patterns as interstitial fluid blurring self as self, staying with what exists in the space between arrival and departure.
Made possible through fellowships at MacDowell and Ucross Foundations, residency time at the Museum of Loss and Renewal/Orkney Islands.
