FD13 residency for the arts

Over the course of their four week <A HREF="http://www.fd13residency.org/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">FD13</A> residency, Staff develops Bathing (Drunkenness) (2018), a series of fluid choreographic gestures enacted by one performer in a shallow pool of water. The performance combines contemporary references alongside Staff’s research into the classical figure of the bather, the drunken revelry of bacchanalia, and spiritello figures which commonly adorn European fountains. Embracing feelings of anxiety induced by stagnant water and its pollution, the performance suggests a complex relationship to gender, intoxication, and desire. Bathing (Drunkenness) is Staff’s first performance choreographed for a live audience since 2013 and continues their examination into themes of contamination, cleanliness, and illness.
This event is co-presented with <A HREF="https://www.instagram.com/companyprojects/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Company</A>, a new project space and curatorial platform located in Minneapolis’ North East Arts District.
