Linda Austin's A head of time (pre show) 2012

Performance Works NorthWest premieres Linda Austin's A HEAD OF TIME, a performance that sifts together an unpredictable array of serenely methodical, energetically agile, gesturally detailed, and playfully awkward dance movement; a set comprised of 300 stacked blankets; v...ideo imagery; original and stolen text, and a sound score by Seth Nehil, in a charting of internal and external time. The ensemble of 8 dancers teases out the tensions between the finite, vulnerable body and the vast expanses of past and future time within us—all of it jostling with our flickering focus on the present moment. Throughout, big notions of Time-Space-Body-Mortality-Memory-Conscio­usness meet the bittersweet humor of the everyday.
