Robert Moses' Kin (RMK) announces the world premiere of SILT, the Company's 20th Anniversary Home Season, for four performances only, May 14-17 at the YBCA Forum in San Francisco.
Artistic Director, Robert Moses describes the new work for his 10-member company, saying, "SILT is a dance of relationships and the silt of our shared racial, social and economic histories, which exist alongside emotional sediment. When seeded it creates new life and our knowing and unknown influence in others lives." He explains that the backdrop for SILT is a series of questions: What is it like to live an overly examined life? What is the nature of privacy? Do we bestow privilege in our lives or is it taken?
In the YBCA Forum, Moses plans to deliberately create multiple viewing situations, and offer audience members the chance to create their viewing experience. SILT will be interactive and use set pieces- an expanded version of Eugene Korsunskiy's chain bead hanging sculpture (as used in last year's Profligate Iniquities)-to partially obscure the dancers from the audience and the audience from the dancers as well as several 8x8x8 performance "stages".
In addition to the original choreographic material for SILT, Moses is mining his repertory of over 100 works created within the last 20 years for possible excerpts to include in this multi-dimensional evening. By re-examining his extensive repertory, including The Heart Thieves, originally created for the Wylliams/Henry Contemporary Dance Company in 2014, the artist is asking himself the very question at the heart of SILT: what has built up? What belongs? And what is unwanted residue?
The music for SILT is composed by Michael Manring and Moses.
Following the world premiere of SILT, Robert Moses' Kin will present The BY Series, the Company's bi-annual repertory program featuring the work of Moses and guest choreographers (to be announced), June 18-21 at ODC Theater, San Francisco.
