CLOCK/WORK runs on a repeated sequence of breath and gesture, exploring social synchronization and the partitioning of time. The piece uses the seven-day week as a framing device, which, unlike the day, month or year, has no circadian or biorhythmic derivation. This work theorizes that the seven-day week is culturally perpetuated for the purpose of coordinating social behavior and labor. With this performance we ask how our daily embodied rituals might perpetuate or subvert such temporal tyranny. This work is a collaboration between Rachael Cleveland, Anna Muselmann and Ari Rodriguez.
