The first phase of felt room work will be in development at the Perlman Teaching Museum at Carleton College January 13- February 24th, 2017 with performers Anna Marie Shogren, Sarah Baumert, Arwen Wilder, Emma Barber, and students from Carleton College with sound designed by Justin Jones and light by Mike Wangen.

felt room is a dance designed to be felt more than seen, engaging performers and audiences in a practice of vibrant potentiality. In the darkness audiences are offered an escape from a world of constant illumination. In felt room energy, vibration, intimacy and imagination will be the primary materials at play. The work will operate in a specially designed sound and light installation, moving into and out of the darkness, transforming our perceptual field. Audiences are invited to gain deeper insight into the nature of reality as a deeply felt personal experience, one that can be at once disorienting, deeply therapeutic and profoundly energizing.
