Slow Dramatic Ending (2017)
Open duration performance for dancers and ensemble

Slow dramatic ending is a dance composed of gestures from dramatic death scenes in cinema and ballet. Dancers continually perform a small repetoire of choreographed movements without pause, using these actions to slowly traverse a given space over the course of an hour. Gradually, the legibilty of each movement deteriorates and becomes defined instead by fatigue and endurance. The piece was made with composer Jack Sheen.

Slow Dramatic Ending is highly adaptable and has been performed with a group of five dancers tightly moving as a unit, and as a solo performance within a gallery space.
