An innovative choreographer, Moriah Evans creates performances for a wide variety of contexts, from museum spaces to the stage, while exploring the “knowledge our bodies hold” and the political undercurrents of movement. This winter, the New York-based artist spends two weeks at the Renaissance Society with a small ensemble of dancers. For this expanded edition of the Intermissions series, which features a longer time frame than usual, Evans explores the possibilities of dance in a more open and durational form through this new work, letting it take shape beyond the boundaries of a single event. Balancing a mix of private rehearsals and public presentations, Evans and the ensemble will offer different expressions of the project at different times. 

Curated by Karsten Lund. 

Launched in 2017, Intermissions is an ongoing programming series devoted to performance and other inventive time-based works, staged in the Renaissance Society’s empty gallery in between exhibitions. This recurring platform features two artists every year, supporting a wide variety of live projects.
