Presented and Performed by Anat Shinar
Choreography by Amal Rogers, Emily Gastineau, Theo Langeson
In Anat Shinars newest project, she invites performance-makers Amal Rogers (Miami), Emily Gastineau (Mpls), and Theo Langason (Mpls) to create something under the prompt: What is a dancer? How does it look and feel to succumb to someone elses vision? What does it mean to succumb? The result is an exquisite corpse style show, threaded together through Shinars solo performance, exploring ideas of memory, distance (in space, time, and other), sincerity, subjective and objective feelings, risk, rules, authenticity, control, and cumulative knowledge coupled with acute execution.
Amal Rogers experiments with dance performance, teaches movement, writes, provides bodywork, and organizes; but she mostly parents. Amal is a member of the Fempower collective in Miami, FL. She has presented performance in New York, Minneapolis, Oakland, Helsinki, Chicago, and south Florida. She has earned a few degrees and been awarded some residencies. Amal owes a lot to you folks in Minneapolis and is so happy to be here with you. And, she is a very big fan of Anat Shinar.
