Trisk Presents SPLIT BILL #39 featuring Andrea Ward and Hunter Sturgis on March 30th and 31st in the Trisk Theater. Our SPLIT BILL Series brings together pairings of movement artists premiering new works.
“Deep Pull” is a solo contemporary dance work choreographed and performed by Andrea Ward. The solo shares the sensation that one’s consciousness fills a room, and that walking on stage is like walking through the mind itself, where all of one’s deepest fears, beliefs, and emotions pass through the air as pathways of untethered consciousness.
Hunter Sturgis’ “Humans Are Such Easy Prey”, examines the inherently parasitic relationship between capitalism and the human body. What is capitalism doing to our bodies? What if disease and mental illness are the body’s reactions to capitalism? Have we lost control of this beast? Why do we keep feeding it? How do we starve it? What if our pleasure, rest, and softness are weapons? Weapons that give us the space to imagine radically liberated futures? The ritual of purging the soul burden of capitalism from one’s body. The pain of healing, birthing, and growing.
