The first 3 performances have been canceled because of health issues.

3 miles of possible explores the poetic and practical associations of “the possible” in a world of fluctuating personal, material, political and artistic contingencies. In the fall of 2021, LINDA AUSTIN presented the first of the three miles that will ultimately be traversed during the course of this longform solo performance. This fall, she unveils mile two. At summer solstice 2023, she will perform the piece in its entirety—all three miles.

For this series, audiences have the choice to witness Mile 1, Mile 2, each of which last about 90 minutes, or—for the devoted—Mile 1+2, a 3-hour continuous performance.

During the show, audiences may come and go, and change seats as available.
Refreshments will be available in the backyard, and there is pizza across the street

Audience members must wear masks while inside the space. Austin will perform unmasked, but will test for COVID before each performance.

In a work whose length is measured by distance, Austin animates and travels along a series of spatial paths envisioned as giant drawings, spells,and/or runes. These paths are threaded through with a variety of movement scores, choreographies, tasks, interactions with objects, guest artists, texts, songs, and sound compositions. Although much of the investigation is movement based, visual, sonic, textual and discursive interventions touch upon utopian longings, possible world theory, and modal logic.
