Performance Works NorthWest premieres Linda Austin’s A head of time, a performance work that sifts together time, memory, perceptual experience and mortality. Subtly virtuosic and imaginative movement, a set comprised of 300 stacked blankets, video, text, and a sound score by Seth Nehil are churned together and teased apart. The ensemble of 8 dancers explores the tensions between the finite, vulnerable body against the vast expanses of time, lived experience and future hopes within us—all of it jostling with our flickering focus on the present moment. Throughout, big notions of Time-Space-Body-Mortality-Memory-Consciousness meet the bittersweet humor of the everyday.
