"HOUSE BOUND" DELIVERS UNUSUAL, IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE FOR SMALL AUDIENCES ONLY
Works Corps artists create a one-day "kinesthetic salon" of art, food, performance, and installation at Performance Works Northwest's Alembic series, premiering April 13. AUDIENCE SIZE IS LIMITED TO 15 PEOPLE PER PERFORMANCE. EARLY RESERVATIONS AND TICKET PURCHASE ARE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
PORTLAND -- You are fêted, fed, and lulled to relaxation. You move through installations and films, connect with performers in intimate spaces. Then the walls start closing in.
Welcome to the house that Works Corps built. "House Bound" is an intimate kinesthetic salon of installation and performance with roving audience participation, in which five women artists investigate the tension between solo and connectivity, individual and relationship, freedom and claustrophobia. Co-presented by 2GQ, the show takes place at Performance Works NW, which selected Works Corps as a grant recipient for its new Alembic series. Space is extremely limited, and reservations are strongly recommended.
Work Corps artists are Clare Carpenter, Emily Stone, Lilian Gael, Nora Robertson and Tiffany Lee Brown. The group first came together to perform in 2GQ's works-in-progress series, Public Works, at the Someday Lounge. Artist bios, press release, sponsors, and photos are available via the links below.
Ticket price includes hors d'oeuvres, chocolates, tea, and wine; $15 advance, $20 at the door. Volunteer opportunities available.
