Mama, my mother's mother, used to come up on the train on Christmas Eve every year and we picked her up in the train station in Schenectady. She always gave us pajamas as a gift on Christmas morning.
So one year I asked “Mama why don’t you give us our presents on Christmas Eve, so we can wear them on Christmas morning?"
She was shocked and said, "I don't know you mean?"
On Christmas morning when she gave us our gift, we all got pajamas as ususal.
The next year she gave us our presents on Christmas Eve and we wore them to bed and had them on the next morning as we opened the gifts
that Santa brought.
Introduction
- Marie Christine Katz
- My multidisciplinary practice focuses principally on performance and installation, addressing environmental issues and current events that affect us regionally and globally, such as human rights and the environment. I seek public participation via story-sharing and collaboration with artists of various disciplines. I often develop my projects over the years. Performances are informed by passersby's responses to questions I pose. I make costumes and objects from various materials such as drier's lint, fabric, hangers, yarn, wax, and wire. I use video, photography, sound, and social media as a medium. I conduct workshops that encourage upcycling and human interactions and perform participatory walks to people anywhere in the world via Twitter. Walks, movement, dance, voice, prepared text fashioned from gathered information, and improvisations shape what I present to the public.
