Bedtime Ritual for Suffragettes (At Any Given Time Someone in the World is Taking to Her Bed) (5 min. 30 sec., 2011), originally broadcast live via webcam on 4/29/2011 as part of the Low Lives 3 exhibition, uses stylized speech and a choreographed sequence of gestures to explore the ambiguity of political action/inaction. Motivated by recent protests to protect the rights of workers (broadcast as global spectacles on network news channels and on the Internet), the piece is a ritual embodying the tense relations between labor, art, movement, and taking to your bed.
