The Opposite of Evolution Dance Studio
7pm @ Rice Pavilion at Rollins College // Orlando, FL // Free
An interactive performance by Amber DiPietra with an interview and facilitated Q&A by Sabrina Dalla Valle to follow. This event is free and open to the public.
What if we went the opposite way of rush and grasp and push and leap, but instead to sea level, to slow, to soft slopes–letting all bodies into the choreography? What creativity unfolds when lying down or floating? Do you have your best ideas gliding sideways through a dream just before waking up? In this show, a poetic soundscape meets your inner monologue where it is at, invites you in in body and mind. And here, stillness and quiet is performance, too.
The piece draws on the work of integrated dance companies (troupes composed of both disabled and non-disabled dancers) like Axis Dance of the San Francisco Bay Area and Heidi Latsky Co. of NYC; Marina Abramovic’s “The Artist Is Present”; the painter and disability activist Sunaura Taylor; and many other other performers in the disability culture movement and somatic arts fields.
