III

Premiered May 6 + 7, 2022 at KANEKO as part of The Movement Series

III is an evening-length, original performance by tbd. dance collective

The performance was a movement triptych, containing three, 15-minute sections of movement taking place in the upstairs gallery of the building. Movement within each section revolved spatially and conceptually around an installation or structure located within the room. The nature and quality of the movement was informed by various architectural aspects of each of the installations, drawing from shape, line, and form.

SECTION I

Located within the center of the gallery. Movement consisted of a series of duets that lead dancers back to two large walls within the space that formed both a backdrop, and a small sectioned off “room.” This room begins to contain the movement.

Music featured: Apparition and Contemplation by Hélène Vogelsinger

Performances and choreography: Kyan Doubet, Kat Fackler, Maggie Fleita, Kara Gillmore, Kara Goodwin, Stephanie Huettner, Shaquire Jones, Jenn Nicholson, Alyssa Rivera, Gayle Rocz, Annie Schenzel
