Untitled (syncopations for more bodies)

Kira O’Reilly with Lauren Barri Holstein, Hrafnhildur Benediktsdóttir, Nathália Mello and Amanda Prince-Lubawy.

Untitled (syncopations for more bodies) plays, glances, glimpses and amplifies syncopal swoons, rhythms and disrhythms of movement across five similar and dissimilar dancing bodies within the levels and viewing sights of the Peoples Palace great Hall.

1. Reflective walk to you.
2. Opening action/Breath actions
3. Tip Toes/Never ending actions
4. Clarity/Doubt
5. Arrest

“when you fall into syncope, you never know in what shape you might return: with wolf’s paws, the tail of a serpent, a bark at your lips, a pelt or fur. . . . One never knows”

Syncope, the Philosophy of Rapture, Catherine Clément
