Floor drawings

Floor Drawings is an improvisational score created by GRAYSCALE artistic director Jessica Kondrath in response to and in collaboration with visual artist Yumi Janairo Roth’s work Spin (after Sol LeWitt).

This score utilizes Sol LeWitt’s written instructions for how to recreate and install his numerous line drawings. Taking direction from Roth’s reimagining of LeWitt’s ‘Sentences on Conceptual Art’, Floor Drawings blurs the line that often defines what is a ‘dancer’. This score is designed for both dancers and sign spinners to encounter each other and the space both physically and conceptually.

Floor Drawings is performed with a soundscape by musician and composer Robin Sukhadia aka Tablapusher. Dancers include Chandler Davids, Holly Goodchap, Mamie Green, Jen Hong, Jessica kondrath, and Morgan Anderson Raynor with spinners Joey Castanon, Davis Davis, and Kevin Williams

 

Many moons

Many Moons was generated through the exploration of lunar cycles, gravitational pull, and the weightlessness of space. This piece was created utilizing music from Wolvez, and a costume and projection collaboration with visual artist Diana Baumbach which stems from her own interest in the pathway of the moon and overlaying circular patterns.

Choreography by Jessica Kondrath.  Music by Wolvez.  Projections by Diana Baumbach with Allen Clark.  Lighting design by Allen Clark.  Costumes by Barbara Rain.  Dancers Paige Amicon, Haihua Chiang, Briana Masson, Marissa Sands, and Haley Weishaup.

the wit of small things

this work was inspired by long city walks without a particular destination and the small things you notice when alone that you may quickly pass by otherwise. what small artwork or left item did you notice - how did finding it make you feel?
