FOOTAGE : McCarren Pool (9 min.)
All of us have other full time jobs, are well acquainted with the term “out of pocket”, and as our own bosses we have to decide when and how to take breaks. We must demand, refuse, compromise, facilitate, and collaborate to express, create, congregate.
At the end of the very long day: this is our refusal of not dancing. In this durational dance performance, 7 dancers devise an improvised method to keep moving. As in Storm’s other works (resistance fantasies; The Riverboat Project; This is disaster management…), our live decision-making orbits a spellbook that is a focal point in the space — bearing scores for choreographies & intimate solidarity to emerge.
