The LIMINAL Series

Li / min/ al : a transitional or initial stage of a process.

This series aims to support artists in the in between; the space between idea and result. So much of traditional art making and production is at the mercy of strict timelines, financial ‘bottom’ lines and programming beholden to tickets sales. By liberating this process from those exclusionary parameters we are producing art in a more equitable and accessible way; we are reinventing how, who and what gets created, produced and witnessed in our communities and we are bringing important, transformative stories to life in The LIMINAL Series.

IN THE STUDIO

The End

Created and Performed By Katherine Murphy Lewis

‘…2 to 7 months…2 to 7months….. 2…..to…..7 months… those dates, those numbers, so small, so short, rang and clanged about inside me, time no longer my friend.

I hit record and subtly placed my phone on the table. I am struck by how normal it all sounds. I try to keep that place, that moment in a jar like a firefly, untouched by time.…hit record, quietly place phone on table, capture something, something that cant be lost… capture him before he goes… capture us before we are all gone…’

This emerging work threads the death of Katherines father to a world at ‘the end of times’, from Wallmart to the White House Katherine asks, out loud ‘Should I get a 401K or lean wilderness survival skills?

All this and more as Katherine attempts to not so gracefully make peace herself and the world.
