Performance in response to NVFAA exhibit by Darren Smith (abstract constructs) and Oenone Hammersley (abstract on unconventional shaped canvas)
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.
Darren Smith – “My work rewards the viewer with visual surprises.” Smith’s photographic works inspire fractured and reconstructed movement. Comforting symmetry contrasts with the unexpected.
Oenone Hammersley – “the focus is on our natural resources in particular water and trees.” Water is explored through American folk music forms. The choreography contrasts extremes of drought and deluge.
Forty+ presents a new dance by Andie deVaulx. The piece examines resilience and the urge to travel and find new vistas. The work is performed by dancers past the age of 40.
“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.
A new 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.
