Description: In their debut collaborative piece, Margolick and Ellis explore their connection to their ever-evolving relationship to femininity, and the balance between their strength and vulnerability.  Seeking both discomfort and safety, they draw inspiration from the matriarchs in their lives, building toward a deeper understanding of themselves.

I will be in residence at the Dance Centre, collaborating with violinist Hannah Epperson. We will be revisiting our piece “Catenary” which we began creating in 2018 but took a long hiatus from because of the pandemic.

Over three days in October, choreographer Alexandra Waierstall will present choreographic interludes within the exhibition of Rita McBride: Arena Momentum. In this series of engagements, collectively called Momentum, she will bring together local New York professional dancers and her frequent collaborators from Europe in a unique gathering – a first of its kind. This event will foster a connection between these communities, the public, and the sculpture Arena’s physical space. Alexandra’s choreographic practice has a rich history and has engaged in dialogue with the Arena in various contexts since 2016. Momentum is an opportunity to see the development of a dialogue between two female artists opening new possibilities.

The choreography itself opens a space of attention in which everyone present can find themselves. The process is ongoing, as we address the past, acknowledge the present, and move towards the future.

Momentum, curated by Alexis Lowry, is initiated by visual artist Rita McBride with choreographer Alexandra Waierstall and the experimental performance collective, discoteca flaming star (founded by Cristina Gomez Barrio and Wolfgang Mayer).

Choreographic interludes by Alexandra Waierstall with and for the dancers: Maxi Canion, Ying Yun Chen, Rachel Gill, Scott Jennings, Amy Josh, Dasol Kim, Rebecca Margolick, Andrea Farley Shimota, Karolina Szymura.

With artistic contributions from: Volker Bertelmann, Stavros Gasparatos, Cédric Hopf, Judith Jaeger, Valeria Lampadova, Lucia Vonrhein

Choreographic interludes production by Noema Dance Works e.V., in collaboration with Dia Art Foundation. Supported by: Ministerium für Kultur und Wissenschaft des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen, Kulturamt der Landeshauptstadt Düsseldorf

“...she was becoming untethered.”, paints a surrealistic portrait of a woman in both ecstasy and constraint. The work explores points along a continuum of beauty and the grotesque; the mundane and the absurd. The process began by asking if the overwhelming emotion of Opera music could be matched and explored through extreme sustained movements and at what point does heightened emotion tip over the edge from expression, to absurdity, and even into comedy? The dance also serves to ask and answer the questions: what supports us? What uplifts us? And what holds us back?

I am performing in “Grass is Green” as beautiful work from UNA Productions that I have been a part of for many years.
