Tuesdays in October, join me for gallery talks through Reynolda's current exhibit, The Voyage of Life: Art, Allegory, and Community Response. We'll be sharing and engaging some of the choreographic approaches that can be sourced from this reflective collection:

• Learn about my favorite dance podcast Dance & Stuff and discuss the moment wrestlers inspired photographer Collier Schorr to start dancing.

• Make sense of the chaos in Lee Krasner’s Birth by moving with its curves and lines. See an example in Shen Wei's Rite of Spring.

• Consider the likeness of George Bellow’s lithograph Tennis to the proscenium stage.

• Look at how Kent Monkman’s performed responses to settler-European paintings reinsert absent bodies and reverse the gaze.

• Get to know Keith Haring’s 'painting as performance' through his collaborations with choreographer Bill T. Jones. We’ll see a related example of how motion capture technology has influenced ways that the drawn line tracks movement.
