From New York, NY -- UNA and founding Artistic Director, Chuck Wilt, present the world premiere of COLORING, as a Rainin Opportunity Fund Recipient at the ODC Theater in San Francisco, CA, on March 8-9, 2019. COLORING is a work for six dancers, and one guest drag performer. Inspired by identity and unity, COLORING asks the question “what do we have in common?” The work draws inspiration from personal narratives, interviews and bodies of artwork from LGBTQ people.
Motivated by a sense of urgency to find commonality at this time in history, the work includes research on the lives and work of queer people and is intended to bring awareness to commonalities of humans, regardless of identity or background. COLORING is structured as episodic dances, which become literally more colorful over time.
"eloquent sincerity."
" ... the excerpts of COLORING are impressively mature … the mood is one of radical vulnerability ”
-Dance Enthusiast
COLORING was created with support as a choreographic fellow for the Alvin Ailey Dance Foundation New Directions Choreography Lab made possible by generous support from the Ford Foundation, in part with the Tisch Summer Residency Festival at New York University and with additional support from KT Nelsons RoundAntennae Residencies, Marta Miller/Certain Bird Residency, as an Artist in Residence at the Launchpad through Dance Initiative (CO) and as an Artist In Residence at the 92nd St. Y’s Harkness Dance Center.
These performances of COLORING were made possible in part by the Rainin Opportunity Fund at ODC.
