Banana Peel Dance: DanceNow, Steel Stacks and Joe's Pub!

I had the wonderful pleasure of attending Silo at Kirkland Farm for a dance residency this past summer with Banana Peel Dance. We had the opportunity to spend a week on the farm and we created a 25 minute performance to be presented at the Musik Fest festival at Steel Stacks. What an honor and complete joy it was to have the opportunity to just create with other artists. Each morning we had company class, rehearsal, family style meals and the beautiful outdoors to inspire us. This residency allowed us to collaborate in a supportive space and on a level most if us hadn't had in a long time. This is the kind of opportunity that every artist should be awarded and I am very humbled.

Here are a few pictures from the residency and also our performance (on my birthday!!!) at Joe's Pub on 9/6/14.

NEXT TO NOTHING by Cassie Tunick, Heather Harpham, Danny Tunick. 

This musical/physical/vocal exposure of the present moment reveals what we've know all along-nothing happens for a reason. Next to nothing, there's always something clamoring to exist. In this fully improvised performance, distinctly evolved narratives dovetail with intricate dances. Songs avalanche out of sound, morph into gestural architectures with a keen ear for broken rhythms and altered states of mind. The will-o'-the-wisp moment is made flesh in Second Nature's ongoing exploration of the physical supernatural and the real-as-your-hometown. Lights by Nicholas Houfek.
