Originally scheduled for March 2020 but canceled due to the pandemic, guest curator Tatyana Tenenbaum, an artist and composer, and a 2017 CPR Artist-in-Residence and Technical Resident, invites artists Rebeca Medina, Mor Mendel, and lisa nevada to share new work in development.
These three artists’ works contain threads across many intersections – including lineage, intergenerational memory, healing our more-than-human relations, poetry, and geographical borders. Each work offers a solo-in-process glimpse, and an opportunity to participate in activating questions together, as a community.
Rebeca Medina
Revisiting an archive of choreographed movement and testing it in my postpartum body — a body that is not “in shape” in a familiar way. It feels vulnerable, but also necessary to ask the community to support through witnessing what it means to be a mother and mover.
Mor Mendel
Tell me what I need to know to understand you. This is an improvisation, conversation, a passing thought in the form of dance centered around music, an old picture, a poem, and some slippery thoughts that lead me as I try to capture an understanding of a place, a past and what it means to belong.
lisa nevada
skin of trees is an initiation of healing from the violence of loss – loss of the missing, murdered, disappeared, and displaced. loss and violent suppression of the feminine and the feminine energies that promote balance and care.
Open Studios is a series of work-in-progress showings held regularly throughout the year, and serves as an incubator for new work, inviting the public into the artistic process. Each installment is curated by an invited guest, usually someone close to the CPR family, and features a diverse group of artists, performance-makers, choreographers, and dancers. Each Open Studios culminates in a conversation with the artists and organizers, where audiences are invited and encouraged to share their feedback.
