NEXT PHASE of ON MY KNEES begins - Time to stop crawling - get up and dance!
By Cathy on Jul 16, 2007 in Featured
FREE WORKSHOPS COMING TO A CITY NEAR YOU… so the next phase includes a communal choreography. That’s where you come in. Beginning in Toronto this spring/summer I’ll be leading free workshops for those interested in exploring the theme Beyond Pain. Workshops are open to all - men and women, non-artists, artists, those who have been divorced, or not, but are interested in using physicality to locate emotional pain and then create private rituals that will allow them to move that pain out of their bodies. I’m currently investigating the possibilities of workshops in Banff, Montreal, Halifax, Vancouver, New York and … France (ok, that’s a long shot, but we’ll see). If you are able to offer any help in making these happen — please let me know!! For more information see The Project - above toolbar.
WHERE IT ALL BEGAN:
On My Knees - a life/art experience - MONDAY AUGUST 13, 2007
eight hours / eight installations @ eight stations
a celebration of eight years of marriage
crawling on her hands and knees
through the streets /crawling to the water

IMPORTANT NOTE: The website might be a bit slow until I edit the content more thoroughly, but there’s lots here if you just keep scrolling down! Also, I am posting a link to a beautiful slide show of photos from the day taken by Jeremy Mimnagh. It’s like seeing a silent movie of the whole day. http://www.mimnagh.ca/onmyknees/
(none of Jeremy’s pic’s are posted on this site - most of those pretty pictures are thanks to the multi-talented Becky Johnson , Erin Klee + also the fab Kathleen Smith)
Hey Cathy! I just found out about all this from Kathleen… been out of the loop, but so glad to know about it now. Gonna be there for some if not all. Site looks great… love the video (even the long interview, before you nixed it). Sending you lots of support on this brave and necessary trip. I really appreciate you sharing it.xoxoxo

Hi Cathy. Great stuff. Heard your interview on CBC this morning. It was wonderful and long! I admire your intelligence/maturity in this piece. It seems like a major leap (a leap in a crawl tee hee)for your work and I’m very proud of you!
A very gentle hug.

Lady, Get you “S” together. Your act for publicity is embarrassing.

Hey Duncan!
Thanks for your support! I just noticed it now. I’m not so good at finding the comments within the website — there are just too many ways to leave me messages… Tiffany sent me a facebook message a couple of weeks ago & I just noticed today that she had written a blog about this.
It’s been a bit intense.
How are you? Tiffany said you were on facebook but I have not gotten it together to search you out. I just got back from vacation today so I’m still in the process of catching up on a bunch of stuff.
Hope you are well & still wearing fabulous shoes!
best,
Cathy
