Paula Jeanine Bennett makes performances referencing the concept of “gesamtkunstwerk” (combining many art forms into a cohesive whole). Her work includes butoh-infused movement, visual art pieces (frequently placed on the floor), soundscapes and poetry. All of these elements are of her own creation. Themes include architecture, the arc of time and loss, and spiritual botany. Her materials include paper, fabric and burlap and are often ephemeral.
