Upcoming Performances & Events
American Pearl
"American Pearl" is a new work designed to unpack the complicated anxieties that have emerged out of today’s tenuous social, political, and sexual climates. Filtered through a queer lens, the dance strives to create a democratization of bodies by stripping the dancers of their usual gendered roles to create a fluid and ever-changing choreographic landscape. The work asks: how do we keep moving when we are constantly being reminded of external forces that are actively fighting against us? Can emotional exhaustion be harnessed and transmuted into something beautiful, albeit broken? Even in the moments of stillness and reprieve, the dance never stops, with a lingering, quiet queer rage bubbling beneath the surface.
Premiere:
Triskelion Arts' Split Bill Series
Friday April 12 + Sunday April 14, 7:30 PM

Works-in-Progress Showings: Dances at the Barn, College of the Holy Cross, Movement Research at Eden's Expressway
This work was made possible with support from the space subsidy program at Triskelion Arts supported by the New York State Council on the Arts and the Mertz Gilmore Foundation, as well as residencies at SMUSH Gallery and The Dragon's Egg.
