JMY JAMES KIDD AND THE SUNLAND DANCERS PRESENT BODY BAGS

On the occasion of Olafur Eliasson’s Reality projector, Jmy James Kidd and the Sunland Dancers present Body Bags, a performative intervention in Eliasson’s site specific light and sound installation. Curated by Brian Getnick, the performances will take place over two days, July 28-29.

Sliding and slithering on the floor, rising to move as five-limbed creatures and wildly bounding and twirling up through the air, the dancers’ performances will unfold over five hours within the expansive Theater Gallery in response to the shapes and audio of Reality projector. Dance and mechanized installation will co-create a third work exploring the cinematic fantasy of light, sound, and bodies emerging out of the darkened interior.

This event marks the second iteration of Body Bags, which premiered as a duet between Kidd and Perin Hailey McNelis, with a sound score by Tara Jane O’Neil, at PAM residencies in April 2018.

This event does not require a separate ticket. Any visitor with a General Admission ticket is welcome to experience all or part of the performance.
