GUGGENHEIM WORKS & PROCESS
CHROMA is collaborative piece I’m developing for Guggenheim Works & Process with Adrian Danchig-Waring and Joseph Gordon, Principal Dancers at NYC Ballet, filmmaker Kristin Sztyk, and choreographers Lar Lubovitch, Pam Tanowitz, and Norbert De La Cruz III. I am creating projected visuals and the visual design for this performance work.
We have been granted residencies at Mount Tremper Arts, Kaatsbaan Cultural Park, Bridge Street Theater, and the Guggenheim Peter B Lewis Theater. The work will premiere at the Guggenheim Theater in October 2022.
CONCEPT
CHROMA is inspired by British filmmaker, painter, and activist Derek Jarman and his memoir Chroma. Chroma organizes Jarman’s life into color chapters as he was losing his eyesight to AIDS. We are adapting these color worlds using movement, visual art, and sound. The visuals are stemming from a reconstruction of my painting process. Kristin Sztyk and I are filming ink spills, splatters, and pours and animating them to create moving, immersive color.
PROCESS
We made a short film to share our process.
