May was a very busy month, here is what happened. #DancingAlonewithmyShadow I had the chance to present #DancingAlonewithmyShadow as part of the EnTransito exhibition in San Antoni de Portmany Ibiza, the performances in person and via Instagram Live, the video and a site-specific installation, a red cord around the windmill, found elements added, honoring your responses to my question “What brings light to your life?” Please see the progression of this work and the exhibition @dancingalonewithmyshadow and a video of the installation in progress, day 3 of 4 on Vimeo. The EnTransito festival created by Clemencia Labin included the work of 27 artists from Germany, Venezuela, Spain, and Switzerland/US.

Finding ways to bring light to the world. “What brings light to your life?”. Your responses and participation add layers to this ongoing installation. Dancing, singing, humming #donanobispacem #together and #togetherapart, #withLoveforPeace, #forourAncestors, #ourchildren, #ourchildren. Tell me, what brings light to your life? Special guests, composers & musicians Nicole Brancato, Joris Pierre Katz & Taul Katz’s work are integrated into the performances. Let’s Take a Walk #57 Let’s Take a Walk #57, a participatory performance, was part of the Marmalade Festival in Oxford, England. We walked for positive #socialchange. Let’s Take a Walk brings people to share a moment, a step toward peace. Participants from anywhere in the world join us via Twitter @mcayer and Instagram @letstakeawalk_world, #walkingtogetherapart. On-site, a Town Crier, Tweet Master, and Drummer assist me. Addressing topic(s) related to the walk, prompting dialogue, and inviting audience participation, #sharingstories. As we journey, the knitted overskirt I wear, created days before each walk with passerby, unravels, leaving traces. Performance time 30 minutes. Over two days before the walk, I worked with passersby, knitting and sharing stories, posing questions directly related to the theme of the performance. Shlepping & Displaying consisted of displaying the unraveled dress, performance artifact over the few days following the walk. An impromptu and ambulatory exhibition. #withLoveforPeace.
