Jordan Deal is a multidisciplinary practitioner, performance artist, and alchemist. Their investigative practice uses performance, sound, image, sculpture and their BODY as a conduit between unseen forces and the materializations of socio-political structures and mythologies. They have been investigating technologies/modalities of relations and movement that harnesses and disperses chaos force as a subversive material and methodology.
Jordan Deal will be presenting capeforce, with flying boots and all (excerpt) Through further explorations of chaos force as a current that can be harnessed and transformed into subversive material, capeforce, with flying boots and all (excerpt) bathes in the communal subterranean currents of the dead and the ghosts of the fugitive and social zombie. As a metzu zombie dance, this compositional and choreographic exploration invites the black imagining and the borders of madness into a dance with triple consciousness herself.
“My creative history with New Dance Alliance goes a way long. Since my friend, Chivas Sandage brought me to New Dance Alliance to rehearse in early 90’s, the place has become a part of my creative life. The long time existence of the studio and Performance Mix Festival are vital to the artists who seek and explore deep into their process. Whenever I step into the studio, it’s a new space with a lot of memories. I lie down on the floor, listen to my body, and I dance. It is valuable. The time in the space nurtures my practice and artistic vision. Karen’s vision of Lift-Off residency, feedback sessions, providing peer to peer connections are more significant than ever. It has been helping us to get through 2020 and we are going into 2021.”
