ich glaube das ist was kunst ist
Conjugated verbs. Stolen kisses. Quiet company. Using movement, text, and puppetry, ich glaube das ist was kunst ist explores the relationship between German syntax and the queer body. With notions of anticipation leading investigative rehearsals, Madeline Shuron orchestrates an intimate approach to language learning and love.
A work-in-process showing of this piece was performed at Cannonball 2024, with the full work appearing at Conwell Theater as part of the show TRIPTYCH (2024).
spiegel spiegel
What does it mean for the self to be doubled? How do you hold on to your humanity when, ultimately, you're a refraction of another? SPIEGEL SPIEGEL is a postmodern ensemble-driven piece that utilizes found sound and contrasts artificial material with the organic. In this work, I attempt to examine effects of alienation that happens due to doubling through phrases and gesture work that deals with the questions of repetition and copying. SPIEGEL SPIEGEL attempts to juxtapose the real with the imaginary, the tactile with the wished-for.
Excerpts performed at Conwell Theater (Endings 2023) UNC Asheville (ReVIEWING Black Mountain College 2022), Movement Research (2021), and the MAAS Building (Cannonball 2021). Evening-length full piece performed at <fidget> space (Cannonball 2023).
