On June 17th, 2012, A BUTOH CLEANSING RITUAL…

  Sundown Schoolhouse

Butoh excercises around the QHE dome

…by Mertle (performance artist, Caroline Smith) part of a day of activities organized by Avant Gardening on the  Sundown Schoolhouse of Queer Home Economics terrace was the appropriate culmination of a week of heavy programming and lots of visitors in the dome – with a sunny break in the bleak weather allowing us some last moments of movement and lunch outdoors…before I head back to the USA in the a.m. for a few days, while the Schoolhouse remains as an installation open to the public for the next three weeks.
