Diagonal Throws is a performance of bisecting landscape. This trajectory of movement and sound explores architectural, sculptural, and spatial dynamics as they relate to the performing body. Specifically working with mostly non-’dancers’, this piece creates scenarios, rules, and small ensembles that respond to music-based compositional and movement-based choreographic arrangements. A 4-piece brass ensemble, percussive resonate metal sculptures, 4-piece prepared and processed string ensemble, percussion, live vocal commands, and 5-piece movement-mob-intrusions combine to create a geographic space in which all performers are simultaneously formulating and rupturing/queering imposed structure. Over the vast expanse of a deep canyon, we engage The West, manifest destiny, limpness, the void, distance, othering, and the great fissuring and territorialization of the self. A masculine comedy.
