Wing of Egress
Wing of Egress is a split bill of works that, for the first time, will feature choreography solely the Coriolis' own Co-founders, Natascha Greenwalt Murphy and Christin Call. These "in-house" works by Murphy and Call have been seen in previous seasons on the Seattle and regional festival circuit.
Murphy's piece, "Tethered Apparitions," was an audience favorite at the Chop Shop Festival: Bodies of Work (2010) and the International Dance Festival: Spotlight on Seattle (2010) Murphy received an Artist Trust GAP Award to further expand the ethereal and ingenuous choreographic content of the work, as well as deepen the collaborative contributions of the other artists. Costumes by Parsons student Janelle Abbott are even more elaborate, the original score by Cornish graduate Matt Holmes is even more luxurious, and Murphy's own work only becomes more intricate and haunting as she continues to create work. Seattle Times wrote of her piece, "[It] opened with a stunner of a sinuous duet. The ensuing pairings, snarings and enfoldings--not to mention out-of-left-field lifts--mixed gymnastic strength with elegant form."
"try to hover (or Private Practice 7)," by Call, was seen more recently at the Northwest New Works Festival at On the Boards this past June where it received glowing reviews. The Sunbreak said the Coriolis dancers performed with, "arresting honesty, blending illusory bodily weakness with elegant dynamism." The Seattlest remarked that "[the dancers] often employ the dance equivalent of musical polyphony - multiple staging areas, movements in and out of phase with each other, mimetic gestures that proceed like a musical canon - and they employ them with an exquisite richness." With stage pieces made by Ryan Soper and Christin Call, a digital score by Soper with integrated tracks from Peter Broderick, and costumes by Sylvain Boulet, this emotional and jarring narrative is worth seeing again if you happened to see it at the festival.
Creation of this work was made in part by the Artist Trust Grants for Artist Projects (GAP) Program.
Coriolis is an associated Program of Shunpike.
