RADAR presents Remnants

To remember is perhaps the most marked sign of consciousness. We instinctively gather and store bits and pieces of our lives, remnants of the experiences, both profound and ordinary, that have intricately knit themselves together to shape our present reality. Surviving traces of these experiences surface in the form of memories, some faint and fading away, some as bright and vivid as if they had just occurred. These memories emerge in our consciousness and provide an emotional arc for our lives, reminding us of our joys and our sorrows, drawing us back to people we have loved and places we have known. There are memories we cherish and others with which we must reconcile; there are those that seem to continuously resurface and others we cant quite access despite our best attempts. And lurking in the dark corners of reality is the possibility of the deterioration of these memories, the good and the bad, the precious and the painful. In its 5th annual evening length performance, Remnants, RADAR examines this complex notion of memory and its significant bearing on our lives. This new work features choreography by company members Megan Baker, Stacy Dudley, Laura Gorsuch, Lisa Perkinson and Kara Priddy, as well as guest artist Lauren Morris.
