Malcolm and I go on a run together in Prospect park talking about art school, grief, and exercises. Holly Adams introduces an exercise in shared spontaneous movement exploring witnessing, leading/following, and supporting one another in social space. The faculty meeting was held at P.P.O.W. Gallery during “Airhead” (June 28 - August 9, 2024) and as a part of Miss Othmar School for Teachers.

Miss Othmar is the name of that teacher of Charlie Brown that’s heard and never seen. Her voice carries no words and transmits no facts. Her professing is an undulating song. Nevertheless C.B. and his classmates seem to follow along.

Miss Othmar is teaching over radio. "Miss Othmar's Meetings with Teachers" is a series that collects the voices of different teachers and facilitators from a variety of fields and their approaches to leading the listener through exercises over radio.
