Bria Bacon + Annie MingHao Wang

Saturday, December 12 | 7:30PM

Dance artists Bria Bacon and Annie MingHao Wang will each premiere a new work as a part of a shared evening. 

“Briefly speaking, I am working within studies around reparation, grief, and rest.” performing artist Bacon writes, “In-lab crafting practices and procedures to submerge into and emerge out of autonomous effort, change, transformation, and rebirth in a chronically-ill body. My prayer: I am soil. I am seed. I am roots. I am trunk and branches. Light and shadow awaiting blossom. And, blossoming isn’t all romance and poetics. It takes incubation, destruction, and courage. It takes dimensionality, deep listening, and support. It takes confrontation, the imperceptible, and collage of all likenesses. I am past, present, future, and outside of time altogether. I can heal and shred and mend; pause, begin again, continue. I will and wield real magic.”

In Wang’s piece fabrication, original textiles and textile movements are intertwined into choreography that evokes the charged space of embodied knowledge and East Asian histories of labor and migration. fabrication will be performed by Wang, Noa Rui-Piin Weiss, and Grace Yi-Li Tong. Wang has previously shown work-in-development in Danspace’s DraftWork series.

This performance is made possible, in part, through a grant from the Jerome Foundation.
