The latest silent contemplation
What makes us feel safe?
In the latest incarnation of this piece, Shakes invited the audience to sit with this question in silence.
Take a quiet moment with it now. When you’re ready, offer one word that comes from your reflection. In the live performance, the word is written on the palm of Shakes’ hand, with agreement.
You can also stay with the silence. There is no pressure to offer a word.
