"while I was homegrowing" is a joy-saturated movement quintet that plays with memory, grief, community care, and a big clothesline. This contemporary dance-theater work excavates memory; Lucia has conversations with her father about his mother, who she never met, and seeks to unpack how her memory has become entangled in fabric and bones. Enthralled with the process of recreating her grandmother in memories that she does not tangibly possess, the memory work unravels into a deep pool of ancestors, both living and past, that the dancers dwell in. The dancers say, “I ache to know these ancestors inside me, and honor them”. "while I was homegrowing" is not narrative in a traditional sense; the overlay of movement, history, and textile unfolds into a living dance piece that leans on rigorous improv scores and choreographic vocabulary with text, play, sound, clothing, bodies in space, and joy. Dancers weave in and out of real and imagined narratives, adopting lineages and caring for each other. Featuring Uila Marx, Morgen Littlejohn, Alexis Vinzons, Alex Francois, and Lucia Gagliardone.
The Tank is at 312 W 36th St., New York, NY 10018, New York, NY.
