GRAMMAR OF GRIEF HANDBOOK

Grammar of Grief Handbook
Website
2020-Ongoing

Loss is a normal part of lived experience. The Grammar of Grief Handbook is a living online resource for people seeking performance practices which can help them work through losses in their lives. Memorials are typically thought of as stone structures rising above eye level in a public square. The Handbook reimagines bereavement through writing, audio, or physical movement that can be created at home and come out of the body's unique relationship to grief. The Grammar of Grief Series began as a commission from the San Francisco Chronicle and is generously hosted by Temple Contemporary at Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Invaluable support for the online Handbook from the Minnesota Street Project Adjacent Virtual Residency in San Francisco, California.

Users are invited to submit their own practices in addition to Grammar of Grief Handbook workshop participants throughout the year. The Handbook is run as a publication with new entries posted 4 times annually.
