Carrying the world on your shoulders?

I love this image.  Books.  Have you ever fallen into a book?  I sometimes carry pieces of them around in my head so woven into the brain that I have a hard time distinguishing what is actual and what was something I just read.  This stony image reminds me of a performance I created after college with a set of giant books. It was called, “Your Cannon.”  I’ve since seen books as a stage set many times. Massive books created the set of the recent production of Don Quixote at the Seattle Opera.  Modern choreographer, Trisha Brown danced on books that opened and closed as did Seattle choreographer, KT Niehoff. KY created “Relatively Real” a dance you can enjoy here.
