WORKSHOP SERIES
Feb 6-8 | In Preparation for Disappearances to Come | Linda Austin Dance
Thurs-Sat Feb 6-8 at PICA | 15 NE Hancock
Created and performed by Linda Austin, Allie Hankins, Danielle Ross, Chris Cochrane, and Kevin Bud Jones, In Preparation for Disappearances to Come is a music/dance collaboration. It is a machine to practice remembering and forgetting. It is an occasion for us to slyly, if futilely, enact strategies to sidestep the inevitability of our own future dissolution and the ephemerality of performance.
