This Little Light of Mine
Janice Johnson: I’m going to sing “This Little Light of Mine” that I learned in Brinkley, Arkansas at the Sanctified Church quite a few years ago.
This little light of mine
I’m going to let it shine
This little light of mine
I’m going to let it shine
This little light of mine
I’m going to let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine
All in the dark
I’m going to let it shine
All in the dark
I’m going to let it shine
All in the dark
I’m going to let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine
God gave it to me
I’m going to let it shine
God gave it to me
I’m going to let it shine
God gave it to me
I’m going to let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine
This little light of mine
I’m going to let it shine

7th International Metabody Forum (2016)
No full textAn artist-performer and arts educator draws upon the complex and layered Third Space to explore her experience of creative destruction. Movement, spoken word and digital representations articulate and question her deep journey through nine months of grief, disruption and renewal. Nine paintings were created by the artist under the light of a full moon over as many months: these form a digital backdrop to the embodied narrative of her ongoing journey commencing with the loss of her life partner, whose final breath was drawn with the rising of a rare blue moon on 31 July 2015. Engaging her audience in this visceral narrative of loss and regeneration the artist uses ashes, blood and light, words and movements as codified representations of the ebb and flow of grief, and of the power of time as a creative Third Space for intellectual, physical and spiritual growth. After the performance, audience members are invited to ‘walk into’ the final painting, or to remain silent, being and becoming part of the personal, professional and critical understandings generated by the shared experience. The performance may be filmed and shared under a Creative Commons Share-alike license, and it is intended that both film and artworks will be shared as Open Education resources. Note: Human ashes and blood will not be used in the performance: issues around authenticity and representation-embodiment are therefore presented as a point of critical concern: they act both a raw nerve, and also as a thread of illumination along which we may explore points of connections regarding ethics, respect and space arising from the performance-presentation. Artworks yet to be created will be presented in an exhibition and performance piece: 13 Moons – Ashes, Blood, Light in a regional Australian art gallery in in October 2016.
Funded by a USQ Open Education grant Janice was invited to work in the UK with artist-performers using body-technologies for the arts at the International Metabody Forum, “Performance Architectures, Wearables and Gestures of Participation” at Brunel University London in April. During her week there she presented a provocation on the architecture of grief and renewal, followed by two public dance performance/installations of “13 Moons: A Story of Ashes, Blood, Light”. The installation for the performance included a huge circle of white paper, covered by dry earth. Janice used dance to carve powerful visual representations of love, grief, and rebirth in the earth. A Makey Makey allowed Janice to trigger a digital backdrop to play by touch. Janice created all music, artworks and photographs for the film backdrop which is available at website listed in this record. USQ Media assisted by capturing film for the project. Janice comments: “Taking part in creating the Metakinosphere - a warehouse-sized installation of body-technology activated sound, light, performance and sculpture was an amazing and inspiring experience of collaborative art.
The performance could not be filmed. It took place in a very dark room with minimal lighting during which my dance performance carved out the shape of my lost husband through the earth so that white paper shone through - within a huge moon/ circle of earth.
The performance was created with feedback and review from international performers and with their input into the installation on the second performance

June Hibino wears a light-colored hat and sunglasses.The Janice Yen Nikkei for Civil Rights and Redress Collection Digital Collection contains mostly photographs of events and activities sponsored by NCRR (National Coalition for Redress/Reparations, later Nikkei for Civil Rights and Redress) as well as events and activities where NCRR members participated. Events include NCRR's annual Day of Remembrance, Nisei Week, Manzanar Pilgrimages, community meetings, and various political demonstrations. Also included are photographs from hearings before the Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Civilians (CWRIC) in 1981 and other hearings related to obtaining redress and reparations for Japanese Americans. In addition to NCRR, photographs also showcase activities and events sponsored by LTPRO (Little Tokyo People's Rights Organization). NCRR emerged as a grassroots movement in 1980, fighting for redress and reparations for Nikkei (Japanese Americans) incarcerated during World War II. The non-profit organization worked to bring the community together to seek justice for the thousands of Nikkei deprived of their civil rights during World War II. The material in this collection was created and collected by Janice Yen, community activist, founding member of NCRR, and member of LTPRO. Contextual information regarding photograph subjects including individual names, locations, dates, and event names are largely provided by Janice Yen herself
