Keep talking about the story and what we want to say.
Our first responders are on the ever-shifting front lines of a war they never signed up to fight, and yet are fighting with all their will. In these astonishing weeks since mid-March, they have made courageous efforts to keep us safe, to mend us, to feed us and to give us solace and hope. They have helped us exhale into another day, and for that we are grateful.
Public Displays of Motion is a company of collaborators that uses movement to illuminate the extraordinary in the everyday. And we are at a uniquely dynamic point of history where we are experiencing everyday actions as intensely extraordinary - more so than most of us have ever experienced before or will again.
As a means to mark this shared time in all our histories, we have conceived of Postcards From the Front, an exercise in storytelling, memory-keeping, embodied empathy and understanding.
With an invitation to a range of first responders, Postcards From the Front pairs the recorded experiences of those on the shifting front lines of the COVID-19 Pandemic with the movement responses of PDM collaborators.
Translated into video “postcards”, these short performances will build bridges of understanding and togetherness from home to home while creating a time-capsule of what will be our shared history. Presented first through social media, then as a collaborative single online exhibit, Postcards From the Front will eventually become a series of printed postcards - tactile, illuminating memorabilia.
With a collective intake of air and its consequent exhalation, Postcards From the Front honors humanity’s grief, fears and frustrations simultaneously with simple joys of the moment and hope as we shift forward and move beyond.
OBJECT., part of KAIROS’ MINISTRY of FEMME Project, is an evening-length, multi-media, dance theater performance, exploring the feminine experience, the question of gender, and the resilience present in communities of survivors, femmes, and women.
The age-old stories passed down to us in lore and song, plastered on billboards and in magazines, consumed in movies and television, bind femininity to specific roles. They describe exactly how to look and how to act. They prescribe, how to exist in our own bodies and minds. Society’s endless obsession with the sexualizing and objectifying of the female form shapes cultural norms across the globe, affecting body image and self-identity, limiting the representation of females in positions of power and ultimately, contributing to the continued acts of violence against women. Through the examination of media driven archetypes and clichés, OBJECT. exposes the world of unattainable standards created by gender stereotypes and the damaging effects of feminine objectification.
Set to music by Ani DiFranco, Annie Lennox, Beastie Boys, Robert Palmer, DJ Fraction, Rachel’s and Fiona Apple, the choreography blends contemporary dance, pole dance, and video dance, and draws inspiration from iconic images generated by Hollywood and the fashion industry; poetry by Eve Ensler, Maya Angelou, and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie; and personal stories from female-identifying community members. The dancers perform in and out of 7-inch platform stilettos and smile-masks, vacillating, sometimes violently, between myth and truth. Fashion designer Carlos Villamil, filmmaker Lindsay Caddle Lapointe, lighting designer Lynda Rieman, and visual artist Corinne Chase add dimensions of texture and imagery that intensify the physical story-telling.

The Davis Sisters are Absolutely in Love All the Time, Always and Forever: A Romantic Comedy is an evening-length dance theater experience created and performed by Joy and Alexander Davis with an interactive audience.
Utilizing the theatrical and episodic structures of an early 2000s Rom Com, The Davis Sisters explore various ways to portray romantic love through text, movement, film collage, live stream technology and essentialist set design.
Joy and Alex play all of the characters: two lead couples, antagonists and highly opinionated friends.
Although romantic love is the most forward aspect of this project, this work also explores the commitment to a career in dance as a high maintenance relationship, especially wherein that commitment is prioritized over romantic relationships.
What are we committing to? What are we passing on? What are we missing out on? We live in an advertising culture driven by FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). The Davis Sisters create accessible work through humor, the vulnerability of sharing real stories, and making way for many options for what commitment looks like.
