Prolegomena

Company:
Stefanie Nelson Dancegroup

Triskelion Arts presents Prolegomena, a new work by New York choreographer Stefanie Nelson for seven dancers, created in collaboration with visual artist Karolien Soete and composer Alexander Berne.
The compositions for movement, stop-motion mural animation and soundscapes were created as part of an ongoing exploration of camera obscura techniques and a fascination with inner and outer spaces. Hailed for work that is “instinctual, untamed and edgy” (Infinite Body), with Prolegomena, Nelson weaves “subtly humorous touches” (Oberon’s Grove) into this “disturbing, sensual and provocative” (Luxury Spot) new work.
Featuring dancers: Gierre Godley, Daniel Holt, Sarah Matry-Guerre, Stefanie Nelson, Sarah Parker, Hunt Parr and Yin Yue.
Original sound scores: composer Alexander Berne with special musical guests Jaik Miller, Harold Bott Jr., Sholeh Dalai, Chuck Fertal, and ‘The Beast.’
Violin improvisations are by Regina Sadowski.
Lighting design: Andrew Dickerson.
Live mural painting & music starts at 7:30pm - Dance at 8pm
