Jennifer Bewerse presents Double Spaces, a multimedia performance reflecting on friendship, how we support and find support in each other, and what we gain when we refuse to avoid the hardest moments of our relationships. Through film, recordings, and intimate ephemera from a decade-long friendship and artistic collaboration with Heather Barnes, the piece becomes a posthumous duet of memory, presence, and enduring connection. The residency allows Jennifer to refine the performance’s structure and experiment with new combinations of text, film, and ephemera to deepen the work’s reflection on how we remember each other and our imagined futures that are never promised. Over the course of its 60-minute continuous performance, audiences sit together in quiet community, witnessing moments of grief, care, and enduring friendship unfold and holding space for private reflection within shared presence. The performance invites audiences to consider how embracing the reality of death can deepen our capacity for connection and intimacy. What happens when we refuse to look away?

Bewerse
Jennifer Bewerse is an LA-based multimedia artist drawn to lingering with overlooked, difficult, or ignored topics. Across film, music, and performance, her work builds patient experiences and paradoxical connections that offer sensed truths language alone can’t hold together. Using simple mechanics that produce complex results, she creates forms whose clarity allows meaning to remain expansive and deeply personal. Instead of prescribing meaning, her work accumulates material—ideas, imagery, contexts, procedures—offering a path toward understanding while leaving space for discovery. It’s an invitation to reconsider what we assume we already know.
