COMMUNITY HAPPENINGS

EPHEMERA opened in NYC June 22 - 25

Created by Sophia Treanor and Deborah Black in collaboration with Mary Overlie and live musician contributed by Adam Gundersheimer, Ephemera wass being presented by the Harold Clurman Center for New Works in Movement and Dance Theater (MAD) at the Stella Adler Center for the Arts.

In a final co-creation between living artists Sophia Treanor and Deborah Black with their late collaborator Mary Overlie, Ephemera is a dance theater performance that explores entropy and the emergence of difference in our universe. Prompted by Overlie's directions and her last choreographic drawing, the two choreographers study the webs of artistic lineage within a molecular dance. Amidst a forest of sequined cook’s aprons and caps, vacuums, microwaves, and clowns, Ephemera makes visible the invisible. The logic and illogic of life’s beginnings are made material by explosions of movement and sound, expansion, contraction, symmetry, asymmetry, and popcorn, to ultimately ask: Is this all there is?

A NOTE FROM THE ARTISTS:

This postmodern work is in the debt of the intertextuality of Africanist aesthetics and Eastern practices. Moreover, we couldn’t have made this work if it weren’t for the lineage of artists and scientists that have come before us. There are quotes inside this work that include moments of perceptual practices of Deborah Hay and compositional wrecking of Susan Rethorst, Anne
Teresa de Keersmaeker’s Fase, costume inventions of Rei Kawakubo, Carlos Castaneda’s concept of the nagual as described in A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope 2022 images of the Carina Nebula and the Southern Ring Nebula, Sara Fresard’s research on parasites at the Jayne Raper Lab, Mary Overlie’s dances Hero, The Figure, Summer Garden, and archival footage of Mary’s early studio practice. Mary asked Sophia and Deborah to create a dance from three different drawings shortly before she passed in 2020, and this is the result.

Ephemera is made possible by the generous support of the Harold Clurman Center for New Works in Movement and Dance Artist in Residency program (MADAIR), the Mary Overlie Legacy Project, and our sponsors.

Created in loving memory of Mary Overlie, and in gratitude for the continuing adventures she set us off on.

- Deborah Black + Sophia Treanor
