Citadel LIVE presents
Bear
Choreographed and Performed by Allison Cummings
Bear is a meditative journey through the dreams, ideas, people and pathways that make up a life. The piece connects what one individual offers, to what they receive amidst the chaotic unpredictability of life while existing in a timed system of precise universal patterns and cycles. And finally, from its beginning origin, it’s a confrontation of motherhood from the very real personal perspective that I may leave my child motherless before he is grown.
Bear is accompanied by 16mm Fragments, a video installation by filmmaker/dance artist Sonya Stefan. Embracing the 16mm film aesthetic, the installation will showcase excerpts from diverse film experiments, featuring artists Elena Kargin, Sylvain Poirier, and Stefan’s daughter, Charlotte.
Approximate run time is 50 minutes.
