Jude Norris, 'Blue Lodge'

Blue Lodge was performed as part of ALA's Havana Gallery series and was curated by Archer Pechawis. Also known as A Little Piece of Unity, this performance is an unconventional multi-media storytelling that recorded and reflected on aspects of Norris' relationships with her horse and the community of the long-distance traditional ‘Unity Ride’. Norris retells some of her experiences on the ride, with focus on a fall from her horse, and her temporary ‘blindness’. Norris' ‘fall’ and its reflection of the relationships surrounding are expanded to symbolically address broader issues of damage and healing.
