Tei Kobayashi and Hella SongBeetle 

Tei Kobayashi led the visiting artist workshop at CSU Pueblo, introducing students to Butoh and Katsugen Undo performance and healing techniques. Earth Flow Rebirth was a collaborative performance that emerged from the workshop. Pueblo Clay was poured and yoiked, a vocal embodied healing, as Tei slowly pulled the 40-foot canvas, allowing the painting to grow.  The rebirth evolved as Tei slowly wrapped and unwrapped using traditional Japanese cloth soaked in mud. The resulting painting has been stabilized with damar resin.

Performers: Tei Kobayashi, Helen Eberhardie Dunn aka Hella SongBeetle, Bob Marsh, Karen Yescavage, Veronica Moffitt, and Ember Peaslee.
