SOFT & STARK
Commissioned by NYC Poetry Society & Milk Press
Choreographer & Director, Caitlin Adams
Dancers, Kristyn Archibald, Kelsey Greenway, Lir Katz
A site-specific piece made for NYC Poetry Festival on Governors Island. Three dancers live amidst tensions vacillating between familiarity and stillness to discomfort and dysphoria, reenforced by the bucolic setting of Governors Island, which, like all stylized colonial utopias, encourages amnesia about its violent past.
