ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Marcos Duran Performance Group dives into uncharted territory with the creation of "Worlds and Plateaus". Intense imagery and narratives are woven into the embodied histories of the performers and the hauntingly evocative music of Seattle-based composer Adam Lahm. Boundaries are pushed, relationships are challenged, and discovery is imminent in this search for new landscapes.

Tiffany Rea-Fisher, the newly appointed Artistic Director of Elisa Monte Dance, premieres "Because I Am". "Because I Am" consists of solos, duets and trios, and investigates the relationship of one's perceived identity particularly as it relates to the world at large making judgments about us and the boxes and roles in which we are put and expected to stay.

MMDC/Mari Meade premieres "This world is not my home", a series of vignettes, simple to the point of rawness. Each vignette's creation is bound by a set of rules, meant to foster an indelible relationship to the bluegrass/folk/country score and an authentic, human connection to the movement. Meade is interested in repetition and an emotionless, task-oriented approach to movement and how, in spite of these restrictions, both emotion and a dreamlike quality emerge.

Chris Herde and Dancers' "Telephone Home Movies" is a long-form ensemble piece in which four dancers interact through a closed-circuit television system and corresponding projection. An exercise in cinematography as well as performance, the performers have to shape their bodies for the camera rather than the camera adjusting to capture their image, creating a dance that happens in digital space. Intimate, thoughtful and sometimes silly, the work explores the tension between what is seen by the eye of the camera and what is "framed out." How do we edit the effigies we create of ourselves and what happens when we think the camera is off?
