Lizard Dreams 

Conceived by Maria Formolo and co-created with Kathleen Arnold in a sculptural environment by Sandra Bromley.

Lizard Dreams is an evolutionary journey through medicine wheels from a multi-cultural perspective.  A series of three Performance Art pieces were conceived, created and presented at The Works festival in Edmonton in 1995,1996 and 1997.

Use of live video projection for Lizard Dreams 2 adds an element of intimacy and technology to the event.  On two large sections of wall are projected video close-ups of the dancers as they move through the piece.

Based in ritual and performance as meditation, Lizard Dreams takes the audience on a personal journey of self discovery.  Use of white clay slip as whole body paint, primitive smells and fire completes the ancient, timeless spell.

Audiences are invited to join in by entering the "pools of unknowing." (Large pools of white and red clay slip)
