Catch Me Bird's performances are assembled from an array of styles, including the ultra-athletic leaps of Diavolo, the passionately honest movement of David Roussève, the avant-garde musings of Rachel Rosenthal, and the aerial theatrics of De La Guarda. In Silk, performers descend from the Ford's proscenium towers in an exploration of the rift between public spectacle and personal reality. The second half of the bill features Baker & Tarpaga Dance Project remounting its 2007 work Gnama Gnama Mana Mana Kono/Disorder Inside Order, an emotional piece inspired by the story of Norbert Zongo, a Burkinabé journalist whose investigations into the crimes of Burkina Faso President Blaise Compaoré led to Zongo's murder.
