Ruby Josephine Dance Theater (RJDT) has been commissioned to create a durational performance reacting to and dancing within local textile artist Carolyn Halliday’s work. Halliday’s current exhibition titled Making Climate Change Visible is on display at the Kolman and Reeb Gallery where RJDT will perform on May 2 as a part of the Northrup King Building’s Open Thursdays.
This performance is an improvisation score about the beauty that can be contrastingly present within and despite destruction. Created by artistic director Ruby Josephine Smith in collaboration with the dancers, Kendall Kramer and Colin Myles Edwards (Bzychln), this cycling duet will weave around Halliday’s large woven sculptures in the gallery space and react to live music played by local cellist Rosa Vieirra Thompson.
Thursday, May 2
Performance from 6:00-6:30pm with an artist talk to follow at 7:15pm.
Free event.
