In Conversation: Ame Henderson and Johanna Householder

jhunter — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 16:07:01 +0000

In anticipation of Ame Henderson’s new performance with Public Recordings entitled what we are saying, The Power Plant pairs this experimental choreographer with performance art pioneer Johanna Householder who will discuss the stakes of performance encounters that demand both openness and commitment. As a founder of the 7a*11d International Festival of Performance Art, Householder helped initiate the recent surge of interest in performative practice, while Henderson’s multidisciplinary collaborations evoke such precedents as happenings, constructed situations and social aesthetics. Together, they will draw on their own histories and current curiosities to offer each other questions and provocations regarding notions of synchronicity and togetherness as well as the borders of sound and sense, physical gesture and utterance, considering thought as dance and language as movement.
