For this Open Studios, CPR 2023 Artist-in-Residence Beth Gill curates dancers who are mid-process in works that explore casually satisfying ideas, threshold crossings, deep sighs, and mundane magic.
Julia Antinozzi will show a work in progress investigating casual technique, classical forms, gesture, and mellow bravura; Cayleen Del Rosario will present a solo work in process; Melanie Maar will perform Generations in an intimate collaboration with Lindsay Packer that explores the reverberation of image from the sensual source through interplay between live video feedback and movement; and Jace Weyant will cross a threshold—enter and exit—with a deep sigh followed by laughter.

Lindsay Packer plays with generative relationships between luminous color and ephemeral form in site-responsive work across disciplines. Her solo and collaborative performances and moving imagery have been featured in MoMA’s Modern Mondays series, Outpost Artist Resource's Fire Over Heaven series, Ann Arbor Film Festival and Rockaway Film Festival, among others. Past residencies include ISSUE Project Room, LMCC Arts Center at Governor’s Island, and the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation.

Jace Weyant is a multidisciplinary artist based in Brooklyn. Her creative work stands at the intersection of the emotive and the mathematical, using both dance and technology to create otherworldly environments in which bizarre and fantastical scenes play out. She has shown work at Chez Bushwick, Fabled Narcissism, Summer Happenings Festival, Standard Vision Studios, Mono No Aware, and Astoria Film Festival, and has been an artist in residence at Theater Mitu, Chez Bushwick, and Impulstanz Festival.
Beth Gill (curator) creates multidisciplinary works that are captivating, cinematic timescapes, the product of long term collaborations with celebrated artists. Her dances are serious, slow moving, and chiseled; meditative experiences poised between performance and visual art. They feel like pressurized objects sustaining tension and seeking release. Paradoxically her work is both intimate and alienated, sensual and ascetic. She dreams and visualizes her dances, transforming her unconscious into iconographic choreography. The imagery and symbolism resonates, inviting audiences into associative thought. In this way her work is in dialogue with contemporary psychology and folk traditions.
