The Quarry Project, 2016 - 2024
The Quarry Project was a site-specific dance/theatre piece created for the Wells Lamson quarry, one of the oldest, deepest granite quarries in the country, now flooded and in “reserve.”
14 sold-out shows took place in August 2022. After screening the performance film around the state and into Canada, it is now available for public viewing. Visit project website >
The Quarry Project Echoes
2024 at The Kent Museum
The vast Wells Lamson quarry was the setting for the performances in 2022, six acres of water enclosed by walls of Barre gray granite with remnants of the industry everywhere you looked. Now we bring the ingredients of that substantial project into the intimate setting of the Kent Museum, a pre-civil war inn and tavern where each room is empty of furniture, the lath and plaster, wide floor boards, brick fireplaces, and wallpaper offering an intriguing setting for the art.
