The Movers

The Movers
Tate Modern, London
February 2, 2013


The Movers 
was a 20 minute performance conceived in collaboration with choreographer Matthias Sperling. It was commissioned by Electra and Tate Modern and presented in the context of Charming for the Revolution: A Congress for Gender Talents and Wildness

The work attends to movement as a means of exploring the connections between collective politics and a sense of the individual. Based on a choreographic score of performative tasks that engage thirteen performers in individual decision-making processes, The Movers abstractly asks how self-determination is both a deeply personal project and continuously negotiated in relation to others.
