Caitlin Green screening, artist discussion and performance in basement of the Art Room Studio Building. Our Embodied Impulses is an exploration of the ways we reach beyond and through singular roles, identities, and archetypal expressions of self, by utilizing the body as a means of learning our capacity for doing and being. What is the body's role in reminding us of our multitudes and our reaches? (re-)Connection to self and each other has been the groundwork of this endeavor and a foundation for creative process. Collaborators entered the project in their individual spaces using movement scores that invited them into introspection via journaling and dance; then joined in a series of convenings to share and discuss what came up. At this short film premiere you’ll witness the collective movement narratives born from a merging of our personal movement processes. Meet us at our intersection. Featured artists and collaborators include dancers: Amalia Colon-Nava, Sierra Cribb, Camille Halsey, Paloma Irizarry, Sophiann Moore, Chloe Newton; videographer/editor: Terrell Halsey; & musicians: Michael Anthony & Mobey Irizarry. https://youtu.be/ya-Syt5GYng

Shannon Brooks This piece travels from upstairs, down the stairwell, and out to the parking lot. Audience directions: You are invited to be anywhere there are taped "Xs". You can move to a different X whenever you want, as often as you want, or in one place the entire time. Improvised movement and sound performance using objects, people, vibrations, echoes, memories, and intuition to see in the dark. What we don't see, what we miss, what we think we see, what we sense, funny feelings, what we run into, what we tip over, what we are surprised by, ghosts, white canes, step-ball-change, the edges of our capacity. Thinking about surreal contraptions that support our 'sight' once we have dissolved our eyeballs. https://static.wixstatic.com/media/c54b6f_f5dac1897c3d4e35b0fbad0393d7e86f~mv2.jpg Photo by Taryn Jones

"S'KIN to SKIN" was conceived of as a video response/continuation of S'KIN a site-specific work that premiered In Kent, CT at the Earl Mosley Institute of the Arts. In S'KIN I/we were playing with the idea of brothers of different races being family and how they need or don't need each other. In S'kin to SKIN we wanted to take some of the movement vocabulary, motifs and intention and put them outside - figuratively and literally.

Commissioned by Kelly Strayhorn Theater, SWITCH SIGNAL is a site-responsive film rooted in the technologies of imagination and mindfulness taught by Pittsburgh’s beloved Mister Rogers. The film was shot on location at Kelly Strayhorn Theater and throughout Pittsburgh with moments in The Hill District and at Carrie Furnace in June 2021. Conjuring the absent presence of community during the global pandemic, this work is about listening and includes movement, marches, choreographies, music, and rites as a love letter to Pittsburgh. Through performance we simultaneously mourn what we lose in our quest for growth, while embodying hope for the future. The viewer travels with us through city streets and Frick Park where we honor the earth by laboring with her. In the end, the camera rests on candles memorializing the Jewish lives lost at the Tree of Life synagogue. We pay our respects to Pittsburgh by heeding Mister Roger’s call for us to slow down and direct our attention. This project is made possible with support from The MAP Fund, Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the National Performance Network’s Artist Engagement Fund, and the Frank-Ratchye Fund for Art @ the Frontier in the STUDIO for Creative Inquiry at Carnegie Mellon University.

Cistern; After Murakami; Inspired by the author’s surrealistic use of empty wells as a conduit between multiple realities, Cistern places the dancer in an empty stone reservoir. Later, in true Murakami style, she suddenly finds herself on a desolate rock formation by the sea. The dance is both an investigation of physical surfaces and a contemplation of the nature of space and time. The recorded passage of chronological time in the dark cistern seems to pass very slowly, even though there is little of it. On the beach, where most of the action takes place, the sense of time is condensed because of the relative sense of freedom. The dancer explores the cistern’s contours, she has a dance with her shadow, the floors, and the walls, but she makes no attempt to leave. She just happens to find a spot on the wall that leads elsewhere. Like one of Murakami’s characters, she is in the cistern by choice, passively awaiting the adventure that will find her if she remains open to the possibility. Cistern; After Murakami https://static.wixstatic.com/media/c54b6f_20c2853a416242db870d176f71311043~mv2.jpg Christy Walsh started her performance career as a child, singing, acting and dancing with her grandmother, Alice Wamsley, in Wamsley’s musical theater company, Norfolk Musical Theater. Walsh went on to study with Gene Hammett, Glenn White, Susan Boree and others at the Tidewater Ballet in Norfolk, Virginia, where she also graduated from the Governor’s Magnet School. This led to an itinerant career with regional ballet companies: Virginia Ballet Theater, Pennsylvania Ballet, Richmond Ballet, and others; independent choreographers: Elbert Watson, Beverly Cordova Duane, and others, and even event performances at Heartbreak Cafe in Virginia Beach - all while concurrently studying photography at Tidewater Community College and Rochester Institute of Technology, finally graduating from Virginia Commonwealth University with a BFA in Communication Arts and Design. She continued to perform for her grandmother whenever she could and started choreographing under the mentorship of Theresa and Anna Maria Martinez at Virginia Beach Ballet Academy. It was in Richmond that Walsh first presented choreography independently and made her first dance films. While she would continue to dance in other choreographers’ work, her focus shifted to making her own art. Part of that art-making involves two-dimensional work on paper and canvas, as well as three-dimensional work that takes the shape of sculpture and costume. She developed these skills in college, and it was during this time that she first began to show photographs, drawings and collages in group shows and galleries in the Hampton Roads area. The development of this work fed into her dance video projects, which were featured in festivals. After university, Walsh participated in a “Dance for Camera” residency at MASS Moca, the CUNY Dance Initiative, and a number of other artist residencies in New York, Virginia and Texas. She settled in New York and in 2001 started stringdance+media, under the banner of which she created a large repertoire of dances and produced many dance videos. Walsh’s works for the theater include evening length pieces: “Stories of the Sun God”, at Green Space in Queens; “Luminitza” at multiple venues in San Antonio, TX; Για σε το Ροδο, Ροδο μου at Katrominas Theodorakis Theater in Chios, Greece. She has also produced site-specific works like “As Much As Things Change” for FIGMENT, “The Friend and the Enemy Are In the Mirror” for Chashama, in addition to collaborative efforts such as “Carving the Curve” at the Sculptors’ Dominion in San Antonio, TX. Many shorter works have been presented in a wide range of venues, from choreographic showcases to arts festivals in the US, Greece and Korea. Her video art and photographs have been shown in group shows in New Jersey, New York, Texas, and Virginia as well as in Greece and Spain. Walsh’s award-winning films and videos have been screened in festivals in an expanding list of countries that includes: China, Columbia, Cyprus, Denmark, France, Greece, India, Indonesia, Israel, Italy, Paraguay, Portugal, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Romania, Russia and the US. “Schemes Ripening In The Midday Sun”, an exhibition of drawings and video, was accompanied by a short performance at Scarsdale Library, in Scarsdale, NY, in April 2023. Walsh received a grant from Arts Westchester for the show. Her multimedia show “The Lost Colony of the Argonauts” is in development and is the recipient of a 2024 NYSCA grant.

Cognatus on the larger scale investigates ecofeminism and the patriarchal mechanisms that assimilate women and nature. Both often devalued and exploited, seeking elevation and liberation, the relationship between them is a rhizome of interconnections. Radical ecofeminism celebrates the relationship between women and nature through the revival of ancient rituals, creating a source of inspiration and empowerment. For socialist ecofeminism, environmental problems are rooted in the rise of capitalist patriarchy and the ideology that the Earth and nature can be exploited for human process through technology. Movement motifs and systems based on this research are created in collaboration with the dancers. Fishel uses history and theory, combined with text and poetry to weave movements that explore ideas of womanhood, cyclical patterns of nature and violence, migration, resistance, and identities in bloom. We invite audience members to dive deeper into community connection and empathy towards both women and our Mother Earth- through reflection, conversation, and action.

In the summer of 2021, the Company of Collaborative Artists made the commitment to continue to bring dance art to people despite the global shutdown and closing of theaters and traditional performance spaces for dance. We elected to bring our creative process and performances outdoors and into public spaces, making dance art accessible to new and unsuspecting audiences. Our intention was to meet people where they were and create immersive artistic experiences that enhanced or awakened their day. This film work was created in residency at Stockton University and recorded in one-take on the boardwalk in front of their Atlantic City campus residence hall.
