Aboutface
This collaborative performance is with Henry Stoll performing George Enescu's Violin Sonata No. 3 - 1st Movement. Aboutface explores the concept of performativity and what it means to incorporate facial expression into performance and how that "mask" manifests itself into the daily life of the performer/artist/human. It also deals with this concept of perpetual falling and resilinency. Several of the gestures echo movements from earlier cultures with a strong influence coming from Romanian folk dance, Kabuki theater, and Indian dance.
