Procession includes three physical exercises for the group that will unfold in various venues throughout the UTM campus. The exercises begin near Mast’s exhibition at the Blackwood Gallery and end not far from her installation at the e|gallery. The exercises will somatically work through questions she has been posing in her most recent works regarding categorization, confinement, restraint, and the potential for release. The procession aims to make connections through sensory inquiry and aid participants in letting go, un-thinking, getting lost, and blurring their vision in a way that might shed some light on their personal and mutual vulnerabilities. Participants should wear comfortable shoes and casual clothes they can easily move in.
