duet/duet is a dance that happens on a field in the sunshine next to another dance that happens inside a room, overlooking a river at sunset. It is a dance created between performers opal ingle, Joey Kipp and Jennifer Kjos, in partnership with choreographer Heather Kravas. One dance contemplates a shape made between two people so that we might also consider the distance between them. The other reflects a line as two people travel and change together. What might a line endure or become? How might people draw nearer to one another? Not quite adhering to presentational expectations, the performance hovers between a drawing and a dance, intended as a vessel to experience the specific temporality of dusk.duet/duet is born from a larger, ongoing body of work entitled solid objects - a collaborative project created between Kravas and her friend, visual artist Victoria Haven. Begun in 2018, solid objects has evolved into a series of presentations in galleries, and theaters; uniting the forces of dance and drawing to push/pull at the edges of existing architectures and illuminate each physical space and audience as its own transitory charged universe.Featuring an electro-acoustic score by composer Zeena Parkins, duet/duet offers a dance built from simple shapes and lines and complex - but not necessarily difficult - feelings.CollaboratorsHeather Kravas, choreographer Jennifer Kjos, performeropal ingle, performerJoey Kipp, performerVictoria Haven, visual artZeena Parkins, acoustic score solid objects (the body of work which encompasses duet/duet) is a co-commission of Walker Art Center/Minneapolis and On the Boards/Seattle.
