Welcome to the virtual archive of Quantum Negress. With the consent of each layer of your spirit which prefers to give permission, Ms.Morris Margaret Morris's ritual work enters the witness and opens up blockages, shifts habitual perceptions, and uplifts the spirit. Ms.Morris practices improvisation as a spiritual journey to inspire the creation of visionary worlds with their own kinesic languages, kinetic landscapes and ecological ways of relating. Often the movement is idiosyncratic, even ugly. But, the ugliness dissolves to reveal the virtue that germinates at its core. Beauty is most effective when it takes people by surprise. Recognizing this beauty catalyzes a shift in the psyche of the audience member. The shift into recognizing the reflection of one's own spirit through empathizing with the ritual performers catalyzes a healing in the spirit of the witness.
