soak rsvp

soak is created + led by alexa dexa
+ presented by Experiments in Opera

alexa dexa here, hi! i’m so honored to invite you to soak, my communal crip ritual / remote access bathtub opera for soaking until the ache dissipates into lull. giving our bodies to the water. in return, relief. i’ll be leading us through the same crip ritual soak i center my days around to weather the flares of my chronic illness. to anchor myself through crip chaos. the incantation i will sing is a songspell crafted + cast to transmute our grief, exhaustion, and pain to melt into an expectationless expanse of ease, if only for now, a reprieve. together, may we sink into ease + effortlessness. may we nourish our sick + mad + disabled bodyminds. 

with boundless gratitude for our crip kinship, i invite you to join me over zoom from your bathtub/shower chair/shower/wash basin/sponge bath/kiddie pool/sitz bath/foot bath/area of cozy and enveloping rest and ease/in, with, or near any body of water big or very small (an ocean, lake, river, creek/rain, snow, steam, or ice/a glass of water/our own bodies), real or imagined (because who is the arbiter of what is real anyway?).

soak will take place online. there will be 3 free performances over the summer of 2024:

  • saturday, july 13 at 7pm eastern time
  • sunday, july 21 at 3pm eastern time
  • friday, august 2 at 7pm eastern time
