Lighting design for a dance piece by Laura Hicks and Ilana Reynolds
Making Impressions and Other Failures is a duet of misplaced gestures in a failed attempt to connect. With humor, awkwardness and slight extremes, the work looks at two performers who are fed by surges of energy and an inability to inhibit impulses. An ecstatic sense of character and idiosyncratic gesture set them apart, creating distance while also exposing a strange sense of vulnerability.
