Often working onstage against the conventions of stage and video-based dance, Kim Ip's new piece for FMCAC finds the choreographer working outside and in dialogue with the built terrain of this repurposed military site. In Kindred Swell, Ip nods to our bayfront location and to the relationship among the piece's five performers -- Malia Byrne, Melissa Lewis, Nico Maimon, Ainsley Tharpe, and Nina Wu -- while using Phromratanapongse's corridor painting and Weiner's hopscotch mural as found environments.
Ip's piece joins a long dance history at FMCAC, from the inaugural 1979 performance of the Spiral Dance Samhain ritual (created for the publication launch of Starhawk's book of the same name); to the 1994 premier of Anna Halprin's The Grandfather Dance, drawing from her grandfather's shul prayers; to Maya Stovall's recently commissioned Theorem no. 1, a city-wide movement piece from FMCAC to the Tenderloin Museum, CounterPulse, and back again.
Ip's Kindred Swell will debut on Friday, September 17, at 6:00 p.m. It marks the opening of the fall art program, and it precedes a sunset viewing of Shimon Attie's Night Watch barge-based video project. Ip's work will also mark the concluding weekend of these projects, during the FOG Design+Art Fair in January 2022.
