Sticking With It
by Myssi Robinson, Nattie Trogdon, Hollis Bartlett and Noa Rui-Piin Weiss in conversation.
Movement Research’s Critical Correspondence Journal
“We try to pose these containers or ‘impossible tasks.’ Hopefully, by setting it up as impossible, we’re immediately inviting failure into the room in order to change our relationship to it. If nothing else, class space should be the place to fail.”
Conversations with Creators: Meet Creative Duo Nattie & Hollis
by Miranda Stuck
Broadwayworld
“There was a lot of process of bringing those histories to the present and our current bodies, and noticing the changes, shifts, and how our bodies seep in and out of the forms. The body is a container and vessel which holds all of its history. And so how do we allow that? How do we show that? How does that filter out through these forms?”
Technique and What To Do with It: a snapshot of process with Nattie Trogdon and Hollis Bartlett
Noa Rui-Piin Weiss
Gibney’s Imagining Journal
“Like a kind of dance polytheism, they allow you to mix and match the techniques you’ve learned and observe how they interact in your body. Through all of this, they are investigating a question: what would it look like to dance as your whole self?”
vessels Review
Karen Hildebrand
The Brooklyn Rail
“There’s a deceptive simplicity about vessels: the precision, variance of speed coupled with stillness, a compelling display of balance, straight lines, geometric shapes. Even the hands hold my attention—fingers in a subtle arrangement, as if they might be read as runes.”
Fallacies Review
No Rui-Piin Weiss
Sightlines Writer-in-Residence
“The only quality is stripped down, the only drive is the need to move. It’s dance as dancers know it. Choreography the way it exists for the people who learn it, not the people who make it.”
Transmuting Review
Kathryn Boland
Informa Magazine
“Particularly intriguing about this work, as a duet, was their unity without making contact (eye or physical) or even coming all that close together in space.”
