| Description |
In a hotel room, three women chat, dance, paint nails, drink vodka, take photos, get dressed (or undressed), and run a bath, all while reminiscing on past experiences and creating new ones in the moment. An audience of 10 is drawn into the action through conversation, assignments, and invitations to explore the room by snooping into dresser drawers and suitcases, or lounging on the queen-sized bed. No one disappears without first leaving behind a personal memento or imprint, which is then woven into future performances to become a moving record of the individual memoirs of a community. A surveillance camera captures it all in real-time. This is "Performance Memoirs".
Laura Curry and Lori Dillon, Seattle-based performing artists, are the co-creators of "Performance Memoirs" - an interactive dance-theater experience set in a hotel room. The project is based on facts and anecdotes collected from people who have participated in Curry and Dillons past interactive work. They along with collaborating artist Pamela Gregory guide audience participants on a journey of stories, dances and constant interaction. Downtown Seattles swanky, sexy, and totally artistic Hotel Max hosts the premiere of "Performance Memoirs".
Laura Curry and Lori Dillon have a history of conducting interactive performances in unique spaces in Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, and Minneapolis, among others, using the Internet, media based kiosks, the telephone, the U.S. Mail, all manners of spy media, and via personal, up-close live interactions. Tiffany Lee Brown from Portlands Willamette Week summed up Curry and Dillons work by declaring: Disturbing aspects of identity overlap in narrative and movement, seducing spectators into becoming part of the scene. If you like to keep your boundaries nice and tidy, stay the heck away.
Generously sponsored by the following: Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs, Paul G. Allen Family Foundations, 4Culture and ArtPatch.NOTE: No one under 21 years old will be admitted.
