MELINDA RING
Forgetful Snow

Forgetful Snow, a triptych completed by two durational performances and an evening-length dance, investigates the transcendent possibilities of body and mind. The dance, performed naked and without accompaniment, is stripped of layered-on meaning and emotion. What’s presented instead is pure choreography and performance—formally complex, and physically raw.

Forgetful Snow is commissioned by The Kitchen, NY and The Box gallery, Los Angeles.

ROSEANNE SPRADLIN
indelible disappearance – a thought not a title

While Spradlin’s work is rarely narrative, in researching material for her new work, indelible disappearance – a thought not a title, harrowing stories of women told through historic film, literature and news reports are assuming primacy as a source for choreographic thinking. “Lost girl” stories of class struggle, sexual violence and murder will culminate in a work that confronts audiences in unpredictable ways.
