FIND YOURSELF HERE: Draftwork is a work-in-progress excerpt of the evening-length work, FIND YOURSELF HERE, premiering at Baryshnikov Arts Center in Sept. 2015. FIND YOURSELF HERE is a performance collaboration between three dancers and three visual artists investigating shared concerns in normally distinct artistic disciplines. Uniting artists of various backgrounds, this sextet highlights overlap and divergence in individual constructions of meaning and value. By collaborating with visual artists whose processes involve movement, this work reaches for connection across disciplines, inviting spectator and artist alike to deepen an understanding of physicality and the role of communication in artistic practice and performance.
