Since 1995, Heather Kravas has investigated choreographic, improvisation and collaborative practices in contemporary dance to explore the edges of performance. For her Base Residency, Heather Kravas is researching RoCoCoCoCo, a situation for dancing envisioned as a DIY folk dance that turns into a snowflake, fractals into a vortex, veers into a grocery list, emanates like an aura, aligns like a pinball machine and collaborates like an ant colony.
Created for performers Allie Hankins, Amanda Morgan, Symone Sanz, Sylvia Schatz-Allison and Julia Sloane, RoCoCoCoCo exploits tension and so-called repetition to create a choreography full of vigor and syncopation. Supercharged, rhythmic, precise, euphoric and tender it proposes a different frame to hold the performers and audience in their complex states of expectation and desire.
Accessibility at Base
The Factory has a ramped entrance located at the north end of the building, through the orange door. Once inside, Base is accessible by ramp through our front doors. Please note that Base is not a scent-free space. The Factory has two gender neutral multi-stall restrooms and two single stall restrooms that are wheelchair accessible. Because we share a building with other studios, there are often industrial noises throughout the building and heavy machinery operated such as forklifts.
