Ursula Eagly builds strange yet recognizable worlds. Her newest solo, Fields of Ida, is set on a bare stage, where movements and songs create an ornate universe of their own. Here, Ursula evokes the post-apocalyptic landscape described in Norse mythology, where destruction and regeneration co-exist.
Toronto is a trio inspired by newly-found super-8 footage of Ori Flomin’s early childhood. Beginning with these documented memories of family jaunts and bringing in longtime friends Antonio Ramos and Colleen Thomas to perform, Ori creates a dance that translates a sense of youthful innocence and camaraderie through the well-trained adult body. Toronto features sound design by James Lo and video installation by Carlos Moore.
Born in Tokyo, Japan, and a New Yorker since 2001, Mina Nishimura’s work is “both dense and rewarding, heavy and refreshing, always unpredictable and sometimes funny.” (offoffoff.com) Mina’s new work, Timmy’s Idea, exists within a particular set of rules where time, space and events are consciously and unconsciously moving in one direction. Using both text and movement vocabularies, the work exaggerates commonplace ideas of time, thought, and emotion.
