Lexicon
An Evening of Dance Works by Barbie Diewald and Collaborators
Friday, May 16, 6:00pm
Cost: $15-$30 sliding scale
Lexicon is an evening of developing and revisited dance works by choreographer Barbie Diewald and her collaborators. The program opens with Seven Sundays, a solo Diewald originally choreographed and performed in 2014, now performed by Mount Holyoke College student Robyn Pilecki. Next, Diewald joins longtime collaborator Meredith Bove in an untitled duet exploring intimacy, distance, voice, and familial histories. The evening culminates in a preview of Lexicon, an ongoing work begun in 2023. A companion to Diewald’s archival research on queer and lesbian aesthetics, Lexicon reflects a deeply collaborative process with Massachusetts and New York based artists Julia Antinozzi, Gabby Carmichael, Ellie Goudie-Averill, Leah Fournier, Chloe London, and Jenna Riegel.
