Contours: Fall Gala and Performance is our first fall fundraiser, celebrating collaboration between artists, spaces, and community, both in Brooklyn and beyond. The evening will feature three very special projects we’re supporting throughout the artists’ process - a choreographer’s response to the work, art and lives of two Guiyang, China-based artists; an exploration and exposition of the multilayered Brooklyn nightlife scene through immersive photography and dance; and a playful dance and music composition highlighting our dependency on GPS technology. There will also be delicious hor d'oeuvres and a silent auction, and if you’ve been to our Spring Party, you know how much fun a CC fundraiser can be!

THE PERFORMANCES:
Choreographer, Caroline Brethenoux (El Human Animal), in collaboration with CB+ Collective, is developing an artistic response inspired by two Chinese-based artists – Guiyang-based painter and sculptor Yin Guang Zhong and Yelanggu-based sculptor and environmental artist Song Laoshi. The original videos interviewing the artists and highlighting their work will be screened at CONTOURS, along with Caroline’s movement and photo-based response.
Composer, Stephanie Singer, and choreographer, Gina Ricker, explore our dependency of GPS Technology to get us just about everywhere. “Keep Left at the Fork” is a tongue-and-cheek collaboration where the blind trust of a group of dancers is combined with a musical score built up from stock GPS phrase that lead them in all sorts of hilarious directions.
Choreographer, Valeria Gonzalez (Valetto Dance), and photographer, Luis Nieto Dickens are in the process of exploring the multilayered Brooklyn nightlife scene through photography and dance. An exclusive look into their process will be featured at CONTOURS, ahead of an event that further delves into these themes; to be produced by THE CREATORS COLLECTIVE in 2017. (less)
