Performance Research
Breaking Classical, a deconstruction of ballet intersected with rhizomatic inquiries relating to and reflecting upon tradition, history, cultural humanities, feminist theory, all while standing in personal truths.
First commissioned by Alberta Bair Theatre's OPI Outreach in 2016 and performed at the Billings Library Community Room February 14th, 2017 as a performance lecture featuring Krista Leigh Pasini, Olivia Brown, Carolyn Coefield, and Allison Kazmierski.
Of the four original solos, each performance and collected reflections were gifted to another artist to respond to - creating an ekphrastic transpersonal exchange spanning 5 years. Responding artists include: Billie Parrott, Daniel Mont Eton, Erica Gionfriddo, and Lisa Oppegaard.
Additional Contributors: Tiffany Miller Designs who conceptualized and designed all the garments for this project.
Sound and Music permissions: Michael Wall, Janek Schaefer, Matthew Burtner, Handel, Stravinsky, and Tchaikovsky
This project will soon be archived as an online exhibit at HaltForce Art Collective: haltforceartcollective.com/breaking-classical-a-deconstruction-of-ballet
