Receiver: The Space/Movement Project, Rachel Damon/Synapse Arts, Erica Mott March 8, 2012

The Space/Movement Project, Rachel Damon/Synapse Arts and Erica Mott, staples in Chicago’s independent dance scene and emerging as leaders in the larger dance community—team up for Receiver, a joint concert program. Each will premiere a work: The Space/Movement Project’s Kiss Kiss Missiles, choreographed by all seven members of the collaborative combines misunderstandings of present-day interaction with social dance tradition; Synapse Artistic Director Rachel Damon’s Without Pause travels a changing landscape of live sound, water and motion to evoke the kaleidoscopic selves and keen instincts present in us all; and Erica Mott’s Five Gaits, Four Walls, Fourteen Knots, explores masculinity and territoriality in the Western U.S. and Iceland, using the mythical motif of the outlaw hero, whether Viking or Cowboy, and its impact on our understanding of our own culture, personal identity and other cultures.
