this house is a body / this body is a house by Claire Alrich (recap!)
We had a great time experiencing Claire Alrich's latest work, this house is a body / this body is a house at Rhizome DC in Takoma Park, Maryland!
Hayley Cutler X Claire Alrich on No Dead Ends by darlingdance at The Kreeger Museum
In this video, Claire Alrich talks to Hayley Cutler about her new show, No Dead Ends at The Kreeger Museum.
From music, to Maida Withers , to a ten-year anniversary, Cutler grants us the absurd and tonally bizarre.
No Dead Ends is an absurdist romp through an abundant landscape, a celebration of lusciousness in nature and form. It is playful, curious, and rooted in unison, athleticism, and joy. No Dead Ends is inspired by its site and partner, The Kreeger Museum, its architecture, and Carmen Kreeger, a visionary woman and lover of life’s artistic and sporting delights.
An interview with Claire Alrich on her show, MAKE ME A MONUMENT
Tangling the innate comedy of the body with its capacity for sublime beauty, make me a monument is a new, site-specific performance for the Dance Place theater. With post-modern dance, object theater, and a dash of musical theater razzle-dazzle, this work conceptualizes monument-making as a way of shaping communal spaces, celebrating mortality, and embodying memory. Featuring a collaborative cast of 8 dancers, an original sound score, and a morphing fabric set, this performance invites you (the audience) into a world that unwinds and rewinds, creates connections and shifts perspective.
