In this evening-length work, Kimberly Bartosik creates a choreographic play on power, desire, and value. She constructs a dialogue between art forms, as the three dancers and one visual artist perform their crafts live, alongside one another, in multi-layered scenes.

During each performance, Brooklyn-based collage artist Jonathan Allen builds a work of art in real-time using cheap objects (purchased from 99¢ stores) that the dancers offer and use to attract him. As these objects move from the dancers’ game of seduction and exchange to become part of a “work of art,” their significance and value transform.

Post-show talk will be moderated by Simon Dove, Crossing the Line co-curator and Director, Herberger Institute School of Dance, Arizona State University.
