In advance at unmade.brownpapertickets.com or at the door. The first leg of the (UN)MADE SOLO RELAY starts off with choreographer LINDA AUSTIN in a solo brimming with unpredictable perceptual, physical, textual and emotional currents, a dance which is subsequently remembered/mis-remembered by eight other dancers performing their own perfectly imperfect versions in a pass-along relay over several months. This series comprises the first stage of Austin's long term project (UN)MADE , a vehicle for the making, unmaking, transforming, transmitting, and distilling of performance and the performative self. At once experiential inquiry and staged performance, (UN)MADE unfolds over the next 2-3 years in three stages: a pass-along solo for 8-10 performers; a group score for up to 40 trained or untrained performers that can be learned, adapted, practiced, and performed over the course of a week; and, finally, a fully-designed and staged dance that draws on material and methods generated over the previous 2 versions.
