WEIGHT OF SKY
weight of sky is a choreographic and sonic practice attentive to and made in dialogue with the sky of place. Attending to tectonic shifts of grief, absence as landmark, and glacial unfolding of time, composition calls to familial and terrestrial histories of place, specifically midwestern grassland. Working with durational scores, deep prairie root systems, bright costuming catching wind, intuition, performers imagine weather patterns as interstitial fluid blurring self as self. Each stays in the space between arrival and departure, catching and calling to each other in moments informed by land time, sky and memory of place.
Made possible through fellowships at MacDowell and Ucross Foundations, residency time at the Museum of Loss and Renewal/Orkney Islands, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
