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.
“The festival was such a wonderfully supportive community of artists to perform amongst and a generous audience as well. The performances were inspiring and exceptionally well-run, which I appreciated.”
