Lindsey Drury builds dance systematics. She works with the idea that movement is itself multiplicit, full of frictious directives, intents, and interpretations. She builds works of performance as problems, providing the performers situations with which to contend. She looks for ways in which people navigate unsolvable embodiments. She assumes that if something cannot be done correctly, it is worth performing. Over the last number of years, Drury’s research has focused on issues of authority and transmutability in dance. She created Run Little Girl (Cunningham Studio, 2012) through a space grant at Gibney Dance to place 20 fragments of choreographed dance material created and rehearsed for 4 years under the microscope. She composed the development and performative intent of the work over a microphone as it unfolded, and thereby re-envisioned a singular body of material for a multiplicity of directive schematics over a four-show run of the work. I am My Shitty Little Box (Danspace, 2011) was a duet with an audience member in which she exchanges clothes with them and performs a solo both as them and for them. She has further presented her work at Danspace, Movement Research at Judson Church, Center for Performance Research, Grace Exhibition Space, Panoply Performance Lab, IV Soldiers Gallery, Brooklyn Arts Exchange, the Kitchen, in Vienna and Budapest, and elsewhere. Recently, she has been working alongside artists from the Brooklyn performance art community to build experimental structures for the development and presentation of works. These projects include The No Wave Performance Task Force (an open-source organization of performers and community members that investigates modes of feminist performance), her in-home residency program through which she has hosted artists in need of housing from all over the world since 2009, and The Woods Cooperative, a artist-run rehearsal space-share in Ridgewood, Queens. Drury has further curated an international artist-series called Post-Dance as a part of the Brooklyn International Performance Art Festival. http://hyperallergic.com/75489/choreographing-a-discussion-about-labor-feminism-and-performance/ http://www.movementresearch.org/criticalcorrespondence/blog/?p=6574 http://www.inthefleshmag.com/enough-questions-i-want-answers/interview-lindsey-drurys-run-little-girl-at-the-merce-cunningham-dance-studio/
