5 hour Piece
Directed by Polina Ionina
Over the past few years we have been developing our next project—a 5 hour movement piece that explores the 5 stages of grief and connection between people. More specifically, how those stages manifest in our bodies.
We’ve been VERY lucky to be in residency at Culture Lab LIC where we have the safe space and ability to fully dive into the work.
A 5 hour movement piece is no easy feat.
We first started developing this piece over a two week period of virtual rehearsals and a 5 day period of in-person rehearsals during the hight of the pandemic in February of 2021. To ensure that all of our artists were safe and creating in the most conducive, healthy environment, asked everyone in our group to get tested and to come live in the space for the 5 days of in-person rehearsals. An artist’s pandemic dream! At the end, we had the beginnings of a movement piece that is still being developed.
We hope to present this work soon. Keep an eye out in the coming year!
