A Crazy Kind of Hope: Dance Performance by Andrea Nann, choreographed by Sarah Chase
Join us in the central gallery for an intimate solo dance performance by exhibiting artist Andrea Nann, choreographed by Sarah Chase. A Crazy Kind of Hope combines beautifully articulate, hypnotic movement patterns with stories of hope and heartbreak. The performance emerges from the unique dance-storytelling technique created by Nann’s longtime collaborator, Sarah Chase. For many years choreographer Sarah Chase has worked with Andrea Nann through a choreographic process using sequences of gestures that draw out autobiography, memoir and storytelling. Through this process, Chase draws out Nann’s rich inner world and magnifies the gestures that belong to her in an expressive language. In the performance, Nann introduces gestural patterns that begin to intersect and harmonize, creating a heightened poetic landscape, so that Nann’s own spoken stories unfold.
