Description
Telegraph Valley is a performance and installation work situated in that queer terrain between “having a body” and “being a body.” Assembled from house frames, ladders, floating decks, mattresses, rotating light sources, and one dancer, Telegraph Valley makes momentary dwellings out of holes, ladders, and gaps, looking for the ways we find home in bodies that experience more loss as they accumulate more life. It attempts to deconstruct the body as a “house for the soul” metaphor to uncover something that roves, collides, undercuts, and transforms what we understand ourselves to be, how we merge with others, and merge with our own solitude, to get somewhere new.
Telegraph Valley is a National Performance Network (NPN) Creation & Development Fund Project co-commissioned by RedLine Contemporary Art Center in partnership with Diaspora Vibe Cultural Arts Incubator (DVCAI), square product theatre, and NPN. The Creation & Development Fund is supported by the Doris Duke Foundation, the Mellon Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Arts (a federal agency). For more information, visit www.npnweb.org. It is also made possible through collaborations with the Museum of Longmont, MCA Denver, Union Hall Gallery, Understudy Denver, Black Cube Nomadic Museum, and the 2025 Movement Lab Fellowship at Rhode Island School of Design.
