Hickory Hill Park, Iowa City, IA

Writers from the annual International Writing Program (IWP) fall residency will provide written texts as inspiration for University of Iowa dance students to choreograph new work, resulting in a performance at Infinite Dream. This longstanding collaboration between the IWP and Dance explores interdisciplinary practices across literature and movement and, over the years, has become an annual tradition at the University of Iowa. Dance faculty member Christopher-Rasheem McMillan will steward this remarkable collaboration as part of The Contemporary Dance Scene fall course—exposing students, visiting writers, and our overall community to the breadth, tensions, and joys of the creative process.  

  FREE and OPEN to the public  

This dance explores the role of the woman within the Spanish surrealist movement. Through an exploration of automatic writing and an ekphrasis of the body, the dance investigates how the woman is represented in Tres jóvenes mujeres surrealistas que sostienen en sus brazos las pieles de una orquestra (Salvador Dalí, 1936​) and Escaparate (maniquís) (Maruja Mallo, 1928).

Este baile investiga el papel de la mujer adentro del movimiento surrealista en España. Por una exploración de la escritura automática y un ekfrasis del cuerpo, esta obra de baile examina la representación de la mujer en Tres jóvenes mujeres surrealistas que sostienen en sus brazos las pieles de una orquestra (Salvador Dalí, 1936​) and Escaparate (maniquís) (Maruja Mallo, 1928) como obras claves.

“This work-in-progress showing invites the audience into the first iteration of an ongoing community practice and dance party. Born from a private ritual to mourn friends very much alive but lost to unsupported neurodivergence and addiction, Salvage Rituals is interested in the potential of communal ritual intersecting with DIY engineering as an embodied practice of mutualism/mutual aid. A rigorous movement score takes place on a hexagonal platform constructed of piezoelectric tiles, which transforms the mechanical stress from the performers' bodies into electrical current, actively powering the stage lights.”
