noposition nolocation
is a text-based movement piece including three performers who articulate queer surrealism through kaleidoscopic combinations of sound, body, and language. Through visual tableaus that integrate written absurdist non-sequiturs with symbolic performative gestures, Barnett Cohen, a queer artist who shapeshifts between poet, performance maker, painter, and activist, creates experiential constellations of voice and movement that highlight the persistence of anxious forces, neurotic tendencies, and unremitting violence within dominant ideologies.

Originally curated as part of CPR’s Fall Movement in 2022, but canceled due to Covid-19, Cohen will present an expanded version of the work as it has evolved since December. A chapbook of the text created in connection with the work will be available at the performance.

This project was supported, in part, by a Foundation for Contemporary Arts Emergency Grant.


Please join us for a toast and light refreshments after the performance in celebration of CPR’s 2023 Spring Season opening! Wine provided by Vine Wine and snacks by chef James Bailey.
