Heather Kravas


Solid Objects, 2020
Walker Art Center, Minneapolis

Collaboration with choreographer Heather Kravas and visual artist Victoria Haven.

Punk, feminist, precise and extreme, one solid object is a choreographic abstraction grappling with the messy and incontrollable inevitability of human emotion. Utilizing borrowed movements, the dance is reduced to rhythm and essence then rebuilt through strict and sloppy repetitions. Making room for a presence of failure, physical vulnerability tangles with formal obsessions to embrace accidents, boredom, exhaustion and exuberance.

“The research for this project was started in February 2017 with weekly rehearsals at dawn. These rehearsals have generated material connections between light, music, and movement – not as a representation of the liminal states of dawn but as a way of accessing new frameworks for emanating presence and animacy through the three mediums.”
— Jennifer Monson
