COMMUNION, DUET #19

with Kelly Bartnik & Alexandra Beller

Communion is a BESSIE Award nominated experimental screendance response to the isolation and uncertainty we are all facing as artists and humans in the wake of the Covid-19 crisis. Because dancers can no longer breathe together, touch, or share the experience of movement within the physical studio, Communion invites 40 dancers, separated by physical distance and the pandemic, into a digital space to commune together.

Each unique duet is created from videos by two different dancers who are separated by cities, countries, and sometimes continents. Artist Janessa Clark combines these videos to create virtual duets which are set to music donated by a composer also collaborating remotely.

Conceived, curated, and edited by Janessa Clark

Performed by:

Ivy Baldwin (Putnam Valley, New York), Julian Barnett (Burlington, Vermont), Kelly Bartnik (Brooklyn, New York), Kimberly Bartosik (Brooklyn, New York), Alexandra Beller (Brooklyn, New York), Gerald Casel (Santa Cruz, California), Janessa Clark (Brooklyn, New York), David Dorfman (New London, Connecticut), Jeanine Durning (Stockholm, Sweden), Doug Elkins (New York, New York), Sharon Estacio (Florence, Italy), Ori Flomin (New York, New York), Helena Franzen (Stockholm, Sweden), Wendell Gray II (Atlanta, Georgia), Jasmine Hearn (occupied land of the Karankawa and Atakpe people, Texas), Peiling Kao (Honolulu, Hawaii), Catherine Kirk (unceded land of Lenape and Canarsie peoples, New York), Alice Klock (Whidbey Island, Washington), Joanna Kotze (Brooklyn, New York), Leslie Kraus (Norman, Oklahoma), Benoît Lachambre (Montreal, Canada), Catie Leasca (Brooklyn, New York), Rosalynde LeBlanc (Los Angeles, California), aaron lewis (Highland Park, New Jersey), Jordan Lloyd (Brooklyn, NY), Gesine Moog (Stockholm, Sweden), Yutaka Nakata (Lille, France), Jennifer Nugent (Brooklyn, New York), Omagbitse Omagbemi (Berlin, Germany), Laura Peterson (Brooklyn, New York), Kendra Portier (College Park, Maryland), Jess Pretty (Brooklyn, New York), Kumar Ravi (Delhi, India), Dan Safer (Preston Hollow, New York), Gus Solomons, Jr. (New York, New York), Colleen Thomas (New York, New York), Saúl Ulerio (New York, New York), Guy Whitney (New York, New York), Takahiro Yamamoto (Portland, Oregon), and Jessie Young (Port Angeles, Washington)

HomeTraining

Experiential Gallery Show featuring the work of 18 female and female-identifying artists working in a diverse range of mediums including performance, sculpture, textiles, painting, photography, short film, and experiential soundscape. Over the last year and a half, the pandemic has forced more than 5 million women out of the American workforce, and their labor participation rate has plummeted to a level not seen since 1988. HomeTraining is an exploration of the work created when the convergence of home and artistic lives cultivates new ways of thinking, making, and doing.

Curated and produced by the team behind HEREafter, Episodes 1 and 2: Kelly Bartnik and Kathleen Wessel.
