Meh

set in 3 different locations:

A site-adaptable movement installation, Meh is based upon an entangled cyst in the gut of a kitchen. The structured improv aims to refit itself in obscure, tight places.

LISA KOBDISH'S

Chassé
By Lisa Anne Kobdish
Live Video by Catherine Solaas
Music by John Gable

Lighting Design by Kate Ducey

Rebels with a cause; the dancers of Chassé run out of sight just as the scene is set, and return with a new look. Created in Austin's developing Mueller Lake Park and performed in the eastern hills of Community First! Village, this on-the-go dance work investigates the freedom of movement through open spaces and the vigor we find within communal journeys. Experience the creation in dance film form, or if you dare, on the sweaty run!
