Choreographer, artist and educator Ilya Vidrin and the New Museum’s Department of Education and Public Engagement current the world premiere of More or Less, a meditative efficiency investigating social accountability and communal care. Performances will happen on September 9 at 7pm, and September 10 at 4pm and 7pm, on the New Museum in NYC, and can function the end result of the 2022 New Museum Artist Residency “Ilya Vidrin: Everything You Do Matters, No Matter What You Do.”
More or Less is a proper inquiry on partnering. Moving fluidly from dyads to solo to group work, the performers examine relationships as they intentionally encounter each other, the ground, gentle and sound within the Museum’s white field theater. Drawing on questions of responsibility, company and consent, the performers negotiate gestural loops and layers to light up an emergent logic of care. The fundamental content material of the night consists of Vidrin’s “partnering studies” – loopable relational workout routines that constrain motion to ask generative relational consciousness. Vidrin will probably be joined in efficiency with collaborators Eric Seligman (trumpet, vocals, electronics), Mel Hsu (cello, vocals, electronics), and motion artists Jessi Stegall, Cameron Surh, Valeria Solomonoff and Niki Farahani.
The partnering research search to bother the concept companions can keep their interplay merely by executing the fitting strikes on the proper time, the place high quality of motion and cause for motion stay unspecified. The kinesthetic constraints of every research make it tough for companions to fail to take care of the related options of high quality or just not care about how the motion itself was executed – shifting past merely executing the fitting motion on the proper time. The research render salient each second of inattention or insensitivity, offering a compelling framework by which to discover embodied care. For care to be exercised in its fullest sense on this work, every accomplice wants to know the potential for danger and willingly belief in understanding of that danger.
