Thursday, June 6th @ 7pm – Frédéric Nauczyciel A Baroque Ball (Shade) A Baroque Ball (Shade) features 15 performers dancing to a Bach concerto in a baroque interpretation with clavichords.
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.
Tal Halevi will be presenting Hidden in a Closet my Mother Imagined Being Wrapped in her Father’s Shawl, a solo piece exploring the body and mind’s protective wrappings. Tracing spirallic pathways, it follows movement across landscapes of memory.
“Thank you thank you and thank you to everyone who made this residency (Black Artist Space to Create) possible. These past two weeks have been a blessing! Not only have I been able to deepen my own personal/artistic practices, I was given the space to connect with people that I love! I was given space to reflect on love, and to prepare for what this next year (2021) will bring! Shout out to New Dance Alliance, Modern Accord Depot and Angie Pittman for the time, the space, and opportunity! I am forever grateful! It felt like a good meal, with dessert!”
