This Winter, between phases of renovation, ISSUE returns for a series of limited capacity Artist-In-Residence and Fellowship events. Suzanne Fiol Curatorial Fellow and interdisciplinary artist Lina Azalea Dahbour presents the first program in her “Blind Date” series—Tiny Conversation Hearts.
Tiny Conversation Hearts asks four performers to complete a series of risky tasks: take a singular score (in this case, a newly commissioned score by choreographer Alexa West), go home by their lonesome, create a piece based on the score, and show up on the night of the event to perform their piece at the same time as another artist working in a different medium, with no knowledge of the other artist’s plans. This first dance/music cross-genre “Blind Date” experiment includes multimedia dance artist Dominica Greene is paired with cathartic, aural channeler Nyhne; geometrically-minded movement investigator Emily Kessler is paired with sonic collagist Holy People.
