LISTENING PARTY (2021)

50 minutes

LISTENING PARTY is a highly experimental, participatory 'dance' that attempts to eliminate the visual component. By intertwining somatic sensation, personal narrative, and Claudia Rankine’s text turned script, “Don’t Let Me Be Lonely”, Bahr weaves a dance performance though the ears and bodies of the audience as they casually stroll through a public park.

Choreography + Script: Halie Bahr
