All We Can See from Here directed by HCL Fellow Ginger Krebs premiers Thursday, October 13th and Friday, October 14th, at 7:30pm at the Dance Center of Columbia College. The performance will feature collaborating dancers Kennedy Alexandria, Andy Slavin and Lauren Kunath, an original sound score by Joseph Kramer, and costumes by Sky Cubacub.
Listen to an interview with Sharon Hoyer and Ginger Krebs discussing the project on the Means of Production podcast. (begins at 27:15)
All We Can See from Here proposes a ritual of interdependence. Four dancers build a succession of symmetrical, interlocking “shelters” with their bodies. A geometric diagram on the ground designates the performance’s zone of operations, where resources are equally distributed, and everyone has committed to stay and “work it out”. When symmetry is broken, the team ceremonially re-calibrates to restore equilibrium.
