2020 BESSIE NOMINEE FOR OUTSTANDING PRODUCTION & OUTSTANDING PERFORMER – BURR JOHNSON

Viscerally provocative, ferociously intimate, and pulsing with unbridled energy, through the mirror of their eyes brims with compassion and violence. With wild and tender abandon, the exceptional performers- Joanna Kotze, Dylan Crossman and Burr Johnson (Outstanding Performer Bessie Nominee)- fly through the space, garnering the energy of a storm, trying to defy gravity, to stay afloat, to find a pathway through a space drenched with light and sound. Caught in the wake of this experience, a caravan of children appears. They deftly navigate the tempest and ultimately lead the way. In through the mirror of their eyes, the performer’s body is a vessel through which we, as audience, can experience ourselves and the world. The piece captures the chaos of the world, the ways we navigate pathways of destruction and renewal, and gently proposes a path forward.

About the Director:
Choreographer, performer, educator Kimberly Bartosik creates viscerally provocative, ferociously intimate choreographic projects that are built upon the development of a virtuosic movement language, rigorous conceptual explorations, and the creation of highly theatricalized environments. Her work, which is deeply informed by literature and cinema, dramatically illuminates the ephemeral nature of performance.
