THE MOVING ARCHITECTS presents PLUCK

Dance New Amsterdam (DNA) NY, NY

The Chicago-based dance company The Moving Architects, under Erin Carlisle Norton, performs excerpts from their evening length work PLUCK.  PLUCK is about Power – who has it, what it looks like, how it feels, and why we live in reaction or agreement with its subliminal and prominent presence.  Choreographed long-distance using Skype video-conferencing as the primary tool for communication, technology also takes on a role of Power through its all-seeing-no-touching lens.  These limitations inform PLUCK; individual and complex relationships are constructed and fall apart with emotional and physical extremes.  Danced by tenaciously feminine women, PLUCK probes and disposes of these questions through the company’s signature movement style and pairing opt the ongoing collaboration between Erin Carlisle Norton, dance maker, and Ian Hatcher, music man.

As an artist, Artistic Director Erin Carlisle Norton seeks to channel research of places, structures, their histories, and associated cultural transformations into choreography, exploring the embodiment of past and distant spaces in the heightened present of live performance.  The company continues to research new projects in both community and international settings and explore the use of digital technologies as creative and conceptual tools. The 2011 work PLUCK was choreographed and set long-distance via Skype video-conferencing software, and research is ongoing in the use of technology in connection to cross-cultural distance teaching and performance projects.

About The Moving Architects, Chicago

Drawing from her training in Laban Movement Analysis and academic dance studies, Artistic Director Erin Carlisle Norton takes a highly visual approach to choreography, assessing movement phrases based on their filmic as well as thematic properties. Her long-term creative partnership with composer/accompanist Ian Hatcher has led to "an unbroken string of potent, mysterious choreographies" (TimeOut Chicago, June 2011). The Moving Architects have taught and performed throughout the United States and recently completed a tour of Central Asia sponsored by The U.S. Department of State and U.S. Embassies.  Erin's current research is focused on international exchanges, in particular distance-teaching modern dance through Skype to pre-professionals in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.  Erin holds a BFA in Dance from The Ohio State University, a Graduate Laban Certificate in Movement Analysis (CMA) from Columbia College Chicago, Pilates Certification, and is currently pursuing her MFA in Dance at The Ohio State University.
