slowdanger: SUPERCELL
September 21 & 22, 2023 • 8PM
Venue: Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center.
Making its world premiere at The Clarice, SUPERCELL is an evening-length dance work with a multidisciplinary angle responding to climate change, media sensationalism, desensitization and environmental collapse. The title refers to the large storms of deep, persistent updrafts often resulting in many tornadoes. While supercells are terrifying and ominous harbingers of great damage, they are simultaneously breathtaking environmental events when witnessed from afar. The effect is similar to sensationalist media, instantly amplifying catastrophic events for an insatiable public’s consumption. Throughout their creation process, slowdanger consulted with scientists, educators, climate activists, anthropologists, sociologists, sustainable design experts and a dramaturgical advisor.
A Pittsburgh-based, multidisciplinary performance ensemble, slowdanger was founded in 2013 by co-artistic directors Taylor Knight and Anna Thompson. The queer non-binary-led organization uses a systematic approach to movement, integrative technology, found material, electronic instrumentation, vocalization, physiological centering and ontological examination to produce their hypnotic performance work. “Anna Thompson and Taylor Knight are always up to something cool,” raves the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
The will be a post-show Q&A with the artists following the Thursday, September 21 performance.
Tickets: $25 general, $10 students, click here.
