Premiering in New York in 2023 to critical acclaim, “Weathering” is a performance with no dialogue that enacts a tableau vivant on stage. The piece is akin to a flesh sculpture created by the bodies of the ten performers along with sounds, scents, liquids, and objects.
As suggested by the title’s double entendre of “weathering” and “weather,” the work is spellbinding—at times finding themselves perplexed by their own perceptions as they sense the ways in which our presence weathers on this earth.
Driscoll is a New York ​/ ​​​Los Angeles-​based artist who makes work with bodies, voices, objects, and live sound to explore how the world, like people, has a life of its own that forever continues to change. Praised ​​in the media ​as ​​“a startlingly original talent” and a “post-millennium postmodern wild woman” , Driscoll comes to Japan for the first time with this program.

Faye Driscoll

Faye Driscoll is a performance maker and artist based between New York and Los Angeles. She creates work from an alchemy of bodies, voices, objects and live sound to conjure worlds that are, like ourselves, alive and forever changeable.
She has been presented at Tanz im August, Kunstenfestivaldesarts, La Biennale di Venezia, Festival d’Automne à Paris, and Festival Dias da Dança (Porto) among many others.
She won an Obie Award for her newest performance,”Weathering,” which is currently touring internationally.
Select awards include the Doris Duke Award, a Guggenheim fellowship, a Bessie, and the Jacob’s Pillow Artist Award. She believes live art is radical and necessary in this over-mediated time.
