•Jericho

Silas House
Of course he loved the story of Joshua in the Bible the best. He had been named for him, after all. And there was a magic about it: the idea that the voices of the people could cause the walls to crumble.
A colored drawing, birds-eye-view of a woman in bed, checkered sheets pulled up to her nose.

•Most of My Dream Fathers Are Women

Jennifer Tseng | Illustrations by Amanda Tseng
My obsession with my father is so pronounced that when I sit down to write about the women I’ve loved, I begin with a line about him. My memory of others is never lit up and illuminated like my memory of him. This is an old thought, the way a dream is an old thought, born in the mind and prone to illusions. Although his skeleton is underground, our relationship is ongoing.
A number of people in bright, flowing clothes curl between and within the branches of a tree.

•Romance & Reality

Sara Pearson and Patrik Widrig
Creating site-specific dance performance is a love affair, beginning with a profound connection to the heart of a particular place. Whether it be dancing throughout a historic coal processing plant turned UNESCO World Heritage Site in Essen, Germany, on the grounds of a Buddhist temple in Kyoto, Japan, or in rowboats in New York City’s Central Park, the first date, the first step in our creative process is to listen deeply in stillness.
