Award-winning contemporary dancer and choreographer CLAUDIA HILDA is joined by Dancer DANNY QUITANA for a dance performance in response and commissioned as a companion to The Ark. Subtly interweaving an expanded multidisciplinary practice that combines performance, video art, and writing, Hilda presents a multidimensional work that deeply explores and expresses the themes of our summer exhibition, enriched by her collaboration with Quitana’s traditional foundation in dance. Audience experience is heightened by the beautiful experimental design of recent graduate ELEANORE JEFFREYS whose love for immersive design invites you deeper into the performance. Additionally, guests are treated to a live performance from the musical genius of ALEX KOI, whose music has been described as “impossibly stunning” (Stereo Stickman). Space is limited; please reserve tickets in advance and avoid the waitlist.
NOAH’S DAUGHTERS is the first-ever choreographed work commissioned by and specifically for The Church. We are grateful to the SHS Foundation, and specifically its Treasurer Sara Throne, for partnering with us to expand the presence of dance here – and by extension, to our entire East End community.
This performance is a part of the exhibition programming of The Ark.
