Artists: Ame Henderson, Jacob Zimmer, Chad Dembski, Katie Ewald, Claudia Fancello, Matija Ferlin, Erin Flynn, Stacy Hannah and Inari Salmivaara.
The solo choreographies use the personal experience of each performer in conjunction with themes of displacement, mutability and nostalgia. Through movement and story, each solo will attempt to map each performer’s inner landscape as it interfaces with the performance space and those in it. Central to the theme of Manual for Incidence is the concept of travel and movement between cities, overcoming distances, and bringing people from different places together.
