Pending

Pending explores the anticipatory moment before the onset of pain through a combination of improvisational scores and set movement. This piece was developed in collaboration with the dancers and Chicago area blind and disabled sound artist, Andy Slater.

Robby, a black wheelchair dancer, tips over his right wheel toward Sam catching himself on one hand. Sam lunges to catch Robby's head with one hand, the other gently curved at his side.
