Portraits in Motion

A note from Kristina from the evening of the performance

Portraits in Motion grew out of a three part gallery performance series. Using improvisation and live music we responded to the visual art on the walls of a private collection at Ben Maiden and Karen Bell's home, Linda Gall's exhibit at The Rebecca Ibel Gallergy / Miranova, and Kindred Spirits: a group show at The Elijah Pierce Gallery at the King Arts Complex.

Through this experience, we developed a process of looking at art and translating it into our bodies. We began to create movement relationships, which allowed us to then flip the dance around until we became the art. We are the canvas and the world we are creating this evening is our portrait as characters acting and interacting with each other
