FLOATING and other movements through transition is an exploration of personal and political grief that reflect upon a series of interviews LEO conducted. The interviews elevate voices of people whose knowledge around grief is under-recognized– a florist, a teacher, a nurse, a hairstylist, a BDSM educator, a dancer, and a community organizer. Each person shared their perspective about what is missing in care surrounding grief. 

Using an ongoing theme around bathing, LEO synthesizes community knowledge and makes work that evokes the body, the senses, and movement. The show includes a guided meditation, in collaboration with Genna Bloombecker, Gray Hong, and Danny War.

This show took place at Monte Vista Projects in Los Angeles, CA from August 19th through August 27th as part of LEO’s residency with Level Ground Co. You can read through some of LEO’s research materials in their “Queering Grief” syllabus, as part of Level Ground’s Syllabus Project.
