h o r i z o n in-development
March 10th 7p presented by Movement Research at Judson Memorial Church (55 Washington Square South, New York NY) performed by Stacy Lynn Smith, Shannon Yu & EmmaGrace Skove-Epes w/ Nora Alami, Vicky Shick & Mor Mendel in spirit sound design by Shamar Watt project lighting design by Shana Crawford directed by marion spencer more information / FREE, no RSVP required h o r i z o n calls upon movement, sound, light and materials to interrogate catastrophe, extinction and futurity. Inspired by biological anthropologist Adriana Petryna’s Horizon Work - a radical call to create a deliberative and expansive time and space amid onrushing climate disasters - we study the ensemble as an organism of futurity. Investigating mycorrhizal networks - the roots of fungi that connect tree roots to each other underground, creating a network that shares nutrients, water and resources between forest ecosystems - we ask: in a time of extinction, what can we learn from these ancient, non-human teachers that center collectivity, cooperation and curiosity? Through entangled ensemble dance practices, powerful solos, storytelling and worldbuilding with light and a massive golden net, this project proposes the wisdom of the dancer to ground into what we cannot see, but only feel, as the horizon to build and inhabit, together. This work has been in process for a year, and we are seeking Summer + Fall 2025 residency support, and production/premiere support for Fall 2025- Spring 2026 seasons. We hope to see you there! |
