Elizabeth Sugawara and Bhumi B. Patel; Department of Dance
Bay Area-based dance company pateldanceworks and the spirit Blue CHiLD collaborate on the presentation of fault lines, an ongoing, emergent, multidisciplinary series of performances and experiential activations. Each offering emerges from its last evolution, and includes different constellations of members tethered to pateldanceworks. This iteration of fault lines is performed by Bhumi B. Patel and Elizabeth Sugawara with costume design by Blue CHiLD and live sonic composition by Rachel Austin. It is a ritual portal – a doorway across generations and geography, a metaphorical opening of the earth returning us home. Together, they ask: What does it mean to make home and migrate, as the earth burns and the ground beneath our feet continues to orient and re-orient? How do we find and create stability for one another, and for the planet, during rapid change, irreversible loss?
More about the artists:
pateldanceworks (PDW) is directed by Bhumi B. Patel (she/they), a queer, desi home-seeker, science fiction choreographer, movement artist and writer. In its purest form, her performance works for PDW are a love letter to her ancestors. PDW moves at the intersection of embodied research and generating new futures, using improvisational practice as a pursuit for liberation.
Elizabeth Sugawara (she/they) is a dance artist and movement maker, currently pursuing her MFA in Dance at The Ohio State University. She is a multi-layered, ever-curious artist who enjoys the feeling of making, the attentive focus, and awareness that goes into creating a world. She dances to honor her ancestors, actively listen to surrounding ecosystems, and to allow the ripples of internal sensations to seep to the external. She understands movement practice as a multisensory, multitasking activity and is interested in researching the constant patterns and movement transitions in her kinesthetic, improvisational process. Elizabeth questions through movement and storytelling: What does generous intentional adapting and active listening look like within improvisation as a performer?
Rachel Austin (she/they) is a queer white performer, singer, and electronic composer. A deconstructionist, Austin's recent works have focused on disassembling whiteness and blurring the lines of majority culture experiences through songwriting, performance art, and prose. Playfulness-as-liberation is at the center of her practice. She/they taught voice and performance at the Sonic Arts Research Centre at Queen’s University Belfast whilst touring as a songwriter and working in a homeless hostel in Northern Ireland. She/they has performed across Europe and the U.S. and received an MFA in Performance+Performance Studies from Pratt Institute. Austin splits her/their time between the Shenandoah Valley, Virginia and Brooklyn, NY.
Blue CHiLD. is a vibe and a spirit. Born from a blue plant and the dust you carry beneath your feet, they are both here and there, everywhere and nowhere. They are shy and jealous, irreverent and feral, creative and always pregnant, but never a mother. They are most expressive when they find themselves in relation to optimal sentience. Blue CHiLD. is limitless, spiritual, post-lingual, in process, in feeling, nebulous, on their journey, and in love.
fault lines is presented in partnership with Hybrid Arts Lab, a multi-venue learning lab that experiments with how art is imagined, made, viewed and understood within physical and digital spaces.
