Death Posture presents a new butoh performance work, FLOOD, at the Chapel performance space at Good Shepherd Center in Wallingford on January 19th.
Dancer Vanessa Skantze lived in New Orleans for over a decade, where she cofounded the ensemble Death Posture in 2001. Less than a year after her arrival in Seattle to join her dance partner Alex Ruhe, Katrina fell upon the Gulf Coast. Vanessa began conceiving of this piece after her first return to New Orleans in July 2006. FLOOD journeys through invocations of the spirit of the land and the city of New Orleans with all her revelry and anguish, as well as imagery drawn from the catastrophe of the storm and the wrenching loss and devastation in its wake. FLOOD is danced by Death Posture (Vanessa Skantze and Alex Ruhe), Sheri Brown, Helen Thorsen, Azrael, and Lin Lucas. Original score is created by celadon and natazatan of In the Deep Museum along with percussionist Dean Moore.
Saturday, January 19th at 8 p.m.
