ABOUT THE DANCES
About the dances Colossal
Luminance
Choreographer Kendra Portier’s piece Colossal explores the energy, texture, color, and poeticism of geologic mechanizations - the majestic and cataclysmic. Arriving like a movement painting, the dancers move through vibrant swells of action that cascade, careen, and skitter into quicksilver rhythms and simmering pools of patience and care. Complex patterns unearthed like hills shaped by time, rivers, and wind, the performers are the architects, the painters, the creators of a world built together.
The Wooden Floor’s Artistic Director Falon Baltzell’s piece Luminance examines the wonderment, oddity, and idiosyncrasies of pushing ourselves beyond our limits through courage and curiosity. Dancers explore moving through space and time to engineer a luminance world composed of structural landscapes and minimalistic movement design. The performers are exploring, trying to find out as much as they can about their new world, reminding the audience about the courage, curiosity, and glowing light within us all.
