Breath, the Pulse of the Universe, the creation of Pam Johnson and Lynn Birdwell, is a three-part experiential homage to the breath, beginning with a mesmerizing short film, produced by Rivet and directed by Birdwell, followed by a mandala breath troupe performance by Johnson and the Tadasana Breath Troupe, and closes with a short, beautiful guided breath meditation. 

The short inspirational film, featuring the velvety and unbelievably slow movement of Pam Johnson, is an elegant study of light and breath, honoring the technique and style of Bill Viola’s timeless video art, and captures the metaphysical essence of slow motion, rhythmic breath and luminosity. Viewers will observe and become keenly aware of the sound and movement of the life force, the breath.
