"Particular Friends": A Community Performance Project

  • The Columbus Museum of Art 480 East Broad Street Columbus, OH, 43215 United States (map)

Flux Flow Dance Center is thrilled to be collaborating with the Columbus Museum of Art for a weeklong creative intensive with an intergenerational group of dancers from the Flux Flow community. Participants are spending the week rehearsing every evening at the museum to create a new work. The week will culminate in a public performance Sunday, August 18th in the Walter Wing, interacting with the Robin F. Williams exhibit “We’ve Been Expecting You”.

About “Grin”:

Figures in the Robin F. Williams: “We’ve Been Expecting You” exhibit grin broadly in self-satisfaction. They don’t shy away from the viewer’s gaze or try to make their smiles pleasing. By refusing shame and transforming it into satisfaction and pleasure, they embody a queer narrative. The dance performers interact with Williams’s figures by creating a living sculpture as they alternate between grins of smug self-indulgence and a dance ritual of collective joy and connection. Set to Charli xcx and Billie Eilish’s teasing collaboration “Guess” on loop, viewers see the group continuously choose shamelessness, pleasure, and connection within a durational performance that celebrates resilience alongside rest and regeneration.
