This program takes place in-person at CPR, and will not be live-streamed.
Fall Movement is part of CPR's bi-annual festival of new work, returning after an 18-month hiatus after Spring Movement in April 2020 was canceled. Five artists return to revisit their work.
An exhibition of research, ephemera, source material, and objects by Fall Movement artists will be on view in CPR’s Storefront Gallery before and after the performances.
MOLLY&NOLA
STEER
STEER tumbles into unforeseen territory where livestock auctioneering, cloning, and a brief dalliance with the Pentecostal Church collide.
Sadi Mosko
Tectonic
Tectonic started as a series of improvisational dance videos filmed in various natural landscapes. The piece coalesces movement from those videos and uses it to explore the concept of sustainability. Tectonic examines the cyclic systems that sustain Earth and questions how humanity fits into them. When does objective ecological science turn into expressive human interaction, and how can those two aspects of life coexist?

The Crabbit Wee Tailors of Forfar (excerpt)
In their new work-in-progress, The Crabbit Wee Tailors of Forfar, Jessica Nicoll and Barry Oreck explore the resilience and decay of wood, paper, and flesh. In attempting to tailor their world — fitting, fixing, patching — they struggle to resolve things that cannot be resolved.
Kalliope Piersol
New Business
New Business is a reformatting of movements made long ago that still somehow linger.
Valerius Productions
[ey-vis]
Inspired by the Greek mythological story of Icarus, [ey-vis] explores this story through a feminine lens. The choreography is derived from stereotypical feminine movement qualities such as delicacy, subtlety, and intricacy in order to display an overwhelming image of power. This juxtaposition challenges the weakness associated with femininity and illuminates the neglected strength of each individual.
Selected by a peer artist panel through an open call, Spring Movement 2020 was originally curated by Nicole Loeffler-Gladstone, Annie Wang, and Cyrah Ward, and featured Oluwadamiare (Dare) Ayorinde, MOLLY&NOLA, Jessica Nicoll & Laura K. Nicoll, Sadi Mosko, Kalliope Piersol, and Valerius Productions.
