Dance Performance in the Gallery

Dance Performance in the Gallery Featuring Lori Park’s Wire Sculptures & Installation

The performance unfolds among Lori Park’s intricate wire sculptures and immersive installation, transforming the Dana L. Wiley Gallery into a shared world of motion and structure. Dancers move in dialogue with Park’s suspended forms—tracing the curves, tensions, and shadows cast by the woven metal. The choreography draws inspiration from the sculptures’ delicate balance of fragility and strength, mirroring their lines with sweeping gestures, tight spirals, and moments of suspended stillness. As choreographers, Megan Flynn, Teresa VanDenend Sorge and Rodney Veal navigate the installation’s spatial pathways, the boundary between art object and living body dissolve, creating an immersive experience where sculpture and movement shape one another. The result is a contemplative, tactile performance that invites audiences to explore Park’s work and the dancers’ embodied interpretations.
