Presented in conjunction with LA Arts and Health Week as part of Healing Arts ongoing series of global activations, The Vanishing Point tells the story of Christopher Bailey's journey into blindness, and what he learned about perception, empathy, and the healing power of the arts.. The Vanishing Point is both a personal story and a journey across the history of humanity’s quest for sense-making, from our hunter gatherer days, through modern times, and to the recent discoveries in neurology which are beginning to shed light on the science behind deep aesthetic experiences and their healing power. At times harrowing, fascinating, funny, and moving, this event may well change the way you see the world. Introduced by the world-renowned soprano and Arts and Health advocate Renee Fleming, the performance will be followed by a discussion with the audience.
The event will take place at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, California, United States on Wednesday, 15 June 2022 at 17:00 PDT. Additional information on participation and COVID-19 precautions available at https://www.lacma.org/event/performance-vanishing-point.
