Description
Melissa Rayne is seeking a professional male-identifying dance artist or physical theatre performer with an interest in liveness and interdisciplinary work for a new phase of development and performance of Diagrams of Love.
Production Info
This anti-patriarchal duet animates the radical, erotic corpus of visionary artist Ithell Colquhoun. Sitting between modern dance and occult performance, the work examines power, desire and alchemical transformation as it writhes around the energy exchange that arises in pursuit of the “Divine Androgyne”.
