Let there be Performance was an interactive performance in which a drawn world is inspired and created by the audience's words. A word is a mental image, a symbol, a sound, an interaction, and a performance.
The artist invites the audience to re-imagine, be part of the creation process, and celebrate creation as a collective practice. There is the audience as a body, the body as a container of multitudes, the tablets, charcoal, and the space. As well as the artist and her agency to interpret words into worlds.
