WEIGHT OF SKY
weight of sky is a solo choreographic practice attentive to and made in dialogue with the sky of place. Held steady by the urgent visceral poetry of Joanna Klink, attending to tectonic shifts of grief, absence as a landmark, and slow glacial unfoldings of time, a solo performer works with durational physical scores, stories whispered, shouted, sung, bright costuming that catches wind, intuition. Imagining weather patterns as interstitial fluid blurring self as self, the performer stays with what exists in the space between arrival and departure. Action actively breaks apart fragmenting narrative; perception of body unravels to land performer in some known and new world. an abstract narrative of grief for the world- body as portal to remembering beauty + joy while in grieving states
