MIKE KELLEY: DAY IS DONE JUDSON CHURCH DANCE
For Performa 09, Mike Kelley will present three short dance/performance pieces in the Judson Memorial Church inspired by the darkly funny vignettes in his 2005 film and video installation Day Is Done, including The Horse Dance of the False Virgin, The Judson Church Horse Dance, plus live musical selections from the soundtrack. Premiering will be EAPR #3 (Ladder Piece), a work involving 13 people assembled on and around a large ladder playing music on horns. These performances will bring to life some of the hilarious and disturbing characters featured in Day Is Done, all of whom are based on found photographs of extracurricular activities from American high school yearbooks, re-worked for the context of the Judson Church, a historically rich venue linked with the experimentation of the Judson Dance Theater and many other artists throughout the 1960s and 70s. Day Is Done Judson Church will lead up to a larger, evening-length performance for Performa 11 (November 2011).
