As One We Are Onederfull, As More Morefull
HA HA LA is an ALLOWance. For this upcoming performance HA HA LA will explore the realities of inclusion, honoring sources and acknowledging the process of building a moment in the moment. HA HA LA was born on a hike in Muir Woods (2005). He had been given a tambourine from a family friend, one that he brought to my parent’s adult parties. HA HA LA found himself playing it while in a Redwood (Burned Out) Hollow. A progression of ideas, like the plot of a story, introduction to presentation, participation, and finally a resolution. It is a spontaneous performance. The parts will be prescribed but will be open to improv/reflecting with and what that exists around the action, or the participant. Like the singer referencing the viewer, connecting personally. I will produce a souvenir that can be personalized by the artist.
