Description
Meridian Dance presents the world premiere of Yours and Mine, a site-specific performance work by choreographer Macklin Kowal in response to "The Silence Becomes the Painting," Meridian Gallery’s exhibition of work by acclaimed Irish artist Patrick Graham. Departing from Graham’s style of figurative representation – where bodies depicted in physical exchange lose the definition and contours of their shape while still retaining their distinctly human characteristics – Kowal asks how changes in our bodies’ forms may be triggered by recognizing the feelings of another in our own psycho-somatic anatomy. A study in embodied empathy, Yours and Mine pairs the vocabulary of contemporary dance with the durational quality of time-based performance art.
