Please join us at Base on Saturday, June 14 for a work-in-progress showing for Hannah Rice + Alia Swersky.
For this residency, Alia and Hannah will use the Base Residency as a beginning again and a beginning to end. We will be cycling through and researching our past works to discover what remains in the body on the other side of massive physical change and disconnection. Then while committing to the unfolding present, we will see what emerges from states of deep listening. A synthesis will occur that will be presented in an evening length work that shares our history as collaborators, teacher/mentor, artists, and friends.
BEING
This single moment is the embodied state of
nothing & everything simultaneously
Be in the sensation of a movement, as opposed to making the idea of a movement
Enter into stillness
so you can be moved to move
Pause
Listen
Observe the movement within the stillness
Be with the vast diverse wisdom below the surface
Your being
Is not you doing
Enter Dawn
The Sun Shines Here
BEAUTY
Notice where you are
Activate the environment
Inner in to outer terrain
The outside becomes the inside is the undercurrent of perceptions
Each gesture is a motion into a space, a history, a landscape of stories, stolen lands
The body, beyond the body
More than a body
Poetics of space
Visual beauty and embodied beauty insofar as it paradoxically destroys and amplifies false ideas of beauty
Embrace endurance, embrace duration as acts of resistance, resilience, release
And raw rough fuck you beauty
Enter Twilight
An Ocean of Gay
BECOMING
Stillness
Still here
Vanishing ideals
A crumbling of realizations & revelations
Begin again…and again…and again
To be seen, really seen, seeing
Eyes closed
Enter Dusk
Unravel Night
