Performance in response to the NVFAA exhibit
Bits and Pieces is a performance of new works inspired by artworks by Oenone Hammersley and Darren Smith, alongside recent repertory about attraction and partnership.
- Horizon Miguel – A work by Company | E artist Horizon Miguel, “8H Aquarius Moon” is an exploration of a personal, astrological placement and its relation to affection, intimacy and validation.
- Andie deVaulx – A premier work “Armchair Traveling” examines the Paris Metro Soundlandscape via the desire to travel, in mind, if not in body. The work is performed by Forty+, dancers past the age of 40.
- Oenone Hammersley – “the focus is on our natural resources in particular water and trees.” Visual artist Oenone Hammersley’s spoken-word descriptions are layered with movement and sound created by Jane Franklin.
- Philip Baraoidan – “Tales of Moria” choreographed by Philip Baraoidan is a work that explores the consequences of fate meddling in relationships. With weight-sharing, touch, and fluid movements, fleeting partnerships emerge and dissolve.
- Darren Smith – “My work rewards the viewer with visual surprises.” Smith’s photographic works inspire Jane Franklin’s fractured and reconstructed movement. Comforting symmetry contrasts with the unexpected.
