Artist in Residence (AIR) Show: Jessie Young
April 30, 2022|8:00 pm - 9:30 pm
$10 – $20About this event
The performers of Teeth construct the landscape that they are moving inside of. They simultaneously navigate channels of movement together and also create those channels. The lighting for the work is being developed by Shana Crawford, and interwoven in the movement is also the navigation of lighting structures that open and collapse the geography of the space. The sound landscape is being devised and performed live by ALEXA GRAE. The movement explores undulations, body waves and different scales of those movements. I am inspired by the image of a river delta and specifically the dam removal at the Elwha River in Port Angeles Washington (my hometown). Over ten years I have watched the coastline and mouth of the Elwha shift and change alongside this removal. These changes remind me of a group–how just bringing a group of people together in a room creates infinitely more possibilities than my solitary mind can imagine.
