by Brittany Ko and Leah Rom

Opening: June 20th, 2014, 7-9pm - one night only

Performance at 8:00 pm

move through a room, passing your hand through every empty space.
do some spaces feel different from others?
...
hoops from the 99¢ store
sick of jumping through hoops
what will you do if there is a hoop?

we made a hoop
and jumped by it.
stuck a hand through it
stood behind it.
what can we see through the hoop
that we can't see with out it

there are 40 hoops
each one because we decided we knew
what to do.
posed with new problems and obstacles
say hoop really fast over and over
how old are you?

Hoop Dreams
sliding through a hoop
squatting in a hoop
something i can carry
coconut popsicles that make you
10 pounds lighter
hoop skirts
women's "problems" diva cups
hoop for humanity
hoops for all the things i want to
say but don't know how to
liking something or someone
without knowing why
hoops for working together
do you get sick of everything
some time?

hoops as eyes.
stretching. shimmying, an
excuse for dancing without
having to call yourself a dancer
trying to connect
going for it
not a slam dunk but
maybe a swooshy 3 pointer?
itchy nose
paint covered hands
not wanting and wanting
hate isn't the opposite of love
throw me a hoop and i'll catch it
ring of fire

do as many things
with a hoop as you can
so as not to feel the passing
of time and the ache of your
back and the discomfort of
being in public. do them to
have fun and feel light
and all that other
cheesy but still nice stuff.
feel with a hoop what you feel when
you're drunk. be on hoops
get on my level. you don't have
to go in circles you can go back and
forth or side to side. you can lay
flat on your back and a hoop will
just be a line.
