Closer (2019)
A dance in public space for this post / not-so-post #metoo moment.
Through forward motion (and some hard steps back), solidarity and connectivity are used as choreographic tools of propulsion and expression. Employing depth of field through a feminist lens, we see a group of individuals in something together . There is some progress, and yet it is incomplete, complex and never enough. CLOSER is an exasperated, timely response.
Part of the SummerWorks Lab programming – a place for exploration, experimentation, and process. In the Lab, you can experience new works in development from artists exploring new possibilities in performance.
