Year Long Performance is an extended durational project by Patricia Brace leading up to her Arctic Circle Residency in Svalbard. Rooted in endurance, transformation, and environmental inquiry, the performance unfolds over a year through daily improvisational movement, material experiments, and site-responsive actions. It serves as both preparation and conceptual exploration for the 14 daily performances Brace will enact in the Arctic, bridging the landscapes of Maine and Svalbard. By engaging with time, tides, and shifting environments, Year Long Performance reflects on the interconnectivity of place, labor, and climate in anticipation of her Arctic work.
