Over the last few years, I have attempted to create spaces for us to be able to grieve and mourn all that we have and are losing. Funerals for the Ocean is an ongoing project–a community participation performance along the Maine coastline inspired by current climate activist happenings that address rising sea levels and a rapidly dying oceanic ecosystem. Participants, alongside performers are quietly guided to enact/perform a variety of carefully choreographed rituals intended to provide space and bodily gestures for grieving what we have lost while also paying homage to what has been.
