Two Twelve
2019-05-03 20:00 - 2019-05-04 21:30 (America/Detroit) | Boll Family YMCA, 1401 Broadway Street, Detroit, MI, 48226, United States
Two Twelve is the final installation of a three-year performance project by Choreographer Jodie Randolph.
The work questions the undeniable tensions in our world through the subject of interpersonal conflict. Innate opposition becomes the source of investigation, offering a deep reflection of the polarity within ourselves. Our complicated need for human connection is countered by the wars that ensue between nations, between people, and ultimately within. ​A contrast between the individual versus the collective, this work explores themes of dependence, individuality, and manipulation set in motion by a series of reactions that reach for a tipping point and question the boundary between self and other.
