Working at the median between graphics and painting, Ward-Davis juxtaposes beauty and formal acumen with their opposites - ugliness, stupidity and unperceptive dullness - creating a myriad of disconcerting styles that is both sad and humorous. A collaboration between choreographer Lily Skove and filmmaker TJ Hellmuth, SPLIT plays with hidden and obstructed perspectives. As bodies collide inside an invisible shifting set, fragmenting the audience's view of the movement, images gradually emerge - evoking a fascination with the incomplete, with motion that is cut and splintered, with separating cause from effect. Created and performed by Chase Granoff (Roseanne Spradlin, Fresh Tracks @ DTW) with Jon Moniaci, BOREDOM!!! (as an amplifier) is a performance that exposes the intersections of dance and sound through the vibratory presence of both forms. This is a performance in which the live manipulation of electronic sound equipment creates the basis for the movement vocabulary, which shuffles between a contemplative static quality and a quietly explosive shaking. The performance addresses the place of presentation and collapses the magic of the theater, thus creating an exposed and complicated situation for both audience and performers. New paintings derived from tabletop objects, photographs and the artist's own drawings. Ordinary studio objects of vases, fruit, cloths, and pictures; the paintings have less to do with the subject matter and its potential meanings/narratives but rather, the subject matter of the work is the phenomenological, tactile and kinesthetic investigations these objects allow for. A multimedia dance performance and live-art installation extravaganza. Based on the kinds of skits and home videos that we all put on in the family living room as children, The Dress Up Show is a fantasy-come-to-life that exploits the roots of childhood creative energy at the core of the performer-identity complex. With over 75 interchangeable costumes available for general consumption, and a few special surprises along the way, The Dress Up Show becomes a bizarre communal situation for performance. This new evening length performance by Renee Archibald (Christopher Williams, Ann Liv Young) explores darkness and confinement through a seemingly arbitrary smattering of samples and clippings collected in little piles, quietly waiting for an imaginary domestic life (inspired by Led Zeppelin, icebergs, Inuit kids wearing pasta necklaces, and red swim trunks) in various imaginary cities. |
