Alexa Salamé

Island

Ariadne, daughter of Minos, helps helps Theseus defeat the Minotaur but when Theseus does return to his homeland, it is without Ariadne; somehow, she is left alone on a distant shore after they stopped to rest, and she wakes to find herself abandoned by the man she gave up everything for.  Salamé uses a self-developed physical and vocal form to examine that of forsakeness and wreckage, embodying an abstracted imagining of this unknowable moment in Ariadne's life.

Study No. 2: First, fall from the weight of your thenar eminence

An excerpted sampling of a larger duet, this solo study is a glimpse into a larger exploration that began from the geometric dissections mapped by the laws of the golden ratio in the hands, arms, and head; as such, a gestural lexis is established, deconstructed and rendering the upper body onto the lower periphery. Marrying this movement with postures frequent in visual representations of “Via Crucis/Stations of the Cross”, these configurations are further fragmented and reconciled by timed accelerations based on a numerical series of binary strings according to Fibonacci.

Lucy Kerr

while you were away

Returning LEIMAY Fellow Lucy Kerr returns with an intersection of film and performance, realizing the poetic relationship between human landscape and loneliness. Kerr immerses performers in images of absence, both reflecting and revealing what is not there and what could be there.

Kathleen Kelley

Frozen Baby

Through the integration of digital projections, mobile light design, and a sound score that travels through headphones and small portable speakers, Kelley investigates the physicality of secrets by interweaving the moving body with technological and digital landscapes. Kelley’s solo moves from highly nuanced gesture into a lushly feminine virtuosity.
